THEME
Distance Education Technologies include Intelligent Technologies which are computable mechanisms to enable automatic educational systems, Communication Technologies which allows on-line discussion, and Educational Technologies which help users. This workshop will accept and invite original and best papers not published anywhere to be publish in the conference proceedings. Selected papers in the workshop will be selected to be published in the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (see http://jdet.mine.tku.edu.tw/). Submitted papers are encouraged to cover the following topics:
