eLearning for Computational Linguistics and Computational Linguistics for eLearning This workshop focuses on the relation between Computational Linguistics and eLearning within two sessions. 1. eLearning for Computational Linguistics This part of the workshop should give practioners in the field the opportunity * to share didactic experience of eTeaching CL, * to identify and to disseminate good practice models and resources, * to share novel approaches to eLearning in CL, and * to discuss curricular issues. 2. Computational Linguistics for eLearning * In the context of computer mediated communication, language technology can be applied for, e.g, summarization of discussion threads and support of discourse coherence in synchronous CMC * In the context of accessibility and usability of online teaching material, language technology can be applied for, e.g., - matching of semantic representations of learning modules on the one hand and the prospective user's knowledge of the topic on the other hand; - facilitation of access to learning material by more flexible and sophisticated search methods; - improvement of retrieval by supplying metadata for learning objects on a (semi)-automatic basis; - adaptive components which adjust the system to particular users, e.g adaptation of learning management systems for disabled persons, taking into account their special needs. With this part of the workshop, we want to encourage submissions by scholars and software developers who present implemented and working eLearning systems in which language technology supplies a crucial part of the implemented solution. We invite papers and project notes on the various topics concerned with eLearning for CL and CL for eLearning. Important Dates Deadline for papers and project notes: 15 April 2004 Notification of acceptance: 15 May 2004 Deadline for a camera-ready copy of the paper: 15 June 2004 Workshop: 28 August 2004 Format for submission of papers The expected length for full papers will be around 8 pages including abstract, references and notes. The expected length for project notes will be 5 pages maximum. We also inform potential authors that their contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings within COLING'04 and, therefore, the papers selected for publication will have to adhere to COLING edition rules. More details about this will be made available by COLING in due course, check http://www.issco.unige.ch/coling2004/coling2004downloads.html or the COLING homepage for details. Submission procedure Anonymous papers should be sent to: lothar@sfs.uni-tuebingen.de. The papershould be attached in PDF format accompanied by separate authors' information. The heading on the email should read "Coling Workshop paper submission". Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the originating email address. Language All papers must be written and presented in English Workshop organization For the workshop to take place, the COLING 2004 organizers require at least 20 participants to register for the workshop. Speakers and participants are therefore asked to register via the official COLING 2004 site as soon as possible. Contact Address: Lothar Lemnitzer Seminar fr Sprachwissenschaft Abt.
