<div class="">****************** The 17th IEEE International
Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies -
ICALT2017 **************************************************</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
<b class="">DESCRIPTION</b>
<div class="">New trends in technologies, such as data
analytics, cloud computing, maker spaces, 3-D printing,
wearable technologies, augmented reality
and intelligent systems are just a few examples of
technologies investigated for their potential to transform
teaching, learning and assessment both in
formal education (at all levels) and informal learning.<br
class="">
<br class="">
ICALT is an annual international conference on Advanced
Learning Technologies and Technology-enhanced
Learning organized by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE
Technical Committee on Learning Technology. After its
kick-off as IWALT in Palmerston North, New Zealand (2000),
ICALT has been held in Madison, USA (2001), Kazan, Russia
(2002), Athens, Greece (2003), Joensuu, Finland (2004),
Kaohsiung, Taiwan (2005), Kerkade, The Netherlands (2006),
Niigata, Japan (2007), Santander, Spain (2008), Riga, Latvia
(2009), Sousse, Tunisia (2010), Athens, Georgia, USA (2011),
Rome, Italy (2012), Beijing, China (2013), Athens, Greece
(2014), Hualien, Taiwan (2015) and Austin, Texas, USA
(2016).<br class="">
<br class="">
The 17th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning
Technologies (ICALT2017) will be held in Timisoara, Romania,
European Union between 3 – 7 July, 2017. The Politehnica
University of Timisoara, Romania will host the event.<br

<div class=""><b class="">Track 17. Applications of Semantic
Web technologies for Learning (SW-EL@ICALT2017)</b><br
class="">
It is well known that the application of the Semantic
Web technologies provides several advantages like
interoperability, integration and reuse. With respect to
human learning and education, Semantic Web Technologies
have been used for modeling various aspects of the
learning experience, including content, metadata, learning
design, pedagogical strategies, feedback, hints and
learner profiles. By enabling automatic reasoning over
such models, Semantic Web provides the grounds for the
improvement of learning experiences from
different viewpoints, such as adaptation
and personalization, interoperability among systems,
quality of search and recommender engines, etc.
In addition, such technologies can be also adopted for
Service-based Architectures to support service annotation,
discovery, integration and coordination and for reasoning
and collaboration among Intelligent Agents. Moreover, new
applications of Semantic Web for Education are envisioned
with respect to Seamless Learning and
Context-aware Learning. In Seamless Learning, alignment
and continuity of several, often heterogeneous forms of
learning (formal in the classroom, informal in the city,
etc.) are fundamental characteristics. In these
scenarios, mechanisms, enabled by Semantic Web, like
Open Badges could be employed.<br class="">
<br class="">
Furthermore, in Context-aware Learning, new technologies
like Augmented Reality can increase engagement and enable
learners to construct broader understandings. In this case
the glue among physical and digital worlds can be
sustained also by the application of Semantic Web
technologies.<br class="">
