| Title | Call for Papers: Open Source in Education and Language Learning Online |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-588.html Open Source in Education and Language Learning Online (COSELLO) Special Theme: The problem of language learning online - Is Moodle the answer? September 28-29, 2007 Reykjavik, Iceland This conference is the final event in a two-year European project (Covcell), aimed at supporting language learning and teaching in an online environment by adding tools which support collaboration and cooperation to the functionalities already provided by the Moodle learning management system. As well as showcasing the collaborative tools developed by the project, the conference seeks to address critical issues in the field of online language learning from two perspectives: (1) the pedagogical perspective of the effectiveness of cohort-oriented, task-based approaches to language learning and teaching in an online environment; (2) the technical perspective of open source development of tools which support online language learning and teaching. We therefore welcome papers in either of these two domains: (1) papers concerning current issues in the pedagogy of online language learning and teaching, especially the effectiveness of approaches that allow students to learn language while collaborating on tasks in cohort-supported environments; (2) papers concerning the development of open source tools which support language learning and teaching in an online environment and especially the suitability of such tools for use with established open-source learning management systems such as Moodle. Papers that address the special theme of the effectiveness of Moodle for language learning and teaching are particularly welcome.
