Theme

Following last year's successful MIW workshop on Web-based teaching and learning, we will continue to explore various issues of e-learning from different perspectives. With the rapid advance of Internet technology, the Web offers a new and sophisticated information delivery platform, which in turn provides teaching and learning with the kind of environment and facilities that are not always available in traditional classroom-based teaching. The ultimate goal of e-learning is to take education to people rather than the other way round. It ensures that education is more accessible by a larger population anywhere in the world. In addition, e-learning represents a new way of teaching in which the learning experience can be personalized based on each individual's knowledge, needs and background.

In the past 2-3 years, there has been a soaring demand for Web-based learning environment, content and services. This workshop aims at serving the advanced online and distance learning markets by providing strategies, technologies, and end-to-end solutions to the corporate, academia and government sectors. We hope that the workshop will provide an opportunity for a comprehensive discussion on all related issues of traditional distance learning and the new Web-based online learning.

A major objective of this workshop will, therefore, be to discuss and answer questions such as what is e-Learning; why is e-Learning an advantage; what can e-Learning offer; what are the components of e-Learning; what are the challenges in technology for e-learning; how to utilise existing technologies; and many more.

The relevant topics may include the following (but not limited to): 

  • e-Learning solutions and strategies 
  • Successful projects and experience 
  • New software development for e-learning 
  • e-Learning and e-business 
  • Multimedia education for e-learning 
  • Web personalization for e-learning 
  • Data mining and knowledge discovery on the Web 
  • Web Information retrieval and extraction 
  • Web-database technology 
  • Data warehousing on the Web 
  • Data visualization on the Web
