Full Refereed Papers
We are looking for high quality formal conference papers which ideally should present completed research (including action research). All papers will be single-blind (author identity not masked) peer reviewed by at least two members of an international panel of experts. The review will be of the full paper, not an extended abstract. Papers should be 3500 to 5000 words in length (approximately 10 pages) and should ideally make liberal use of hypertext features (that is, they should be primarily designed for delivery on the Web).

Authors who wish to submit a paper to be refereed should download this Word template and modify it. If accepted, correctly formatted papers will then only need slight additional work before final publication. Alternatively, they can submit a Word file and then convert into HTML once accepted.

This submission process will have three phases:

1. Submission of the full paper for reviewing
2. Authors accepted papers will be asked to respond to the reviewers comments and submit papers in final format (using the template mentioned above).
3. Submission of the full paper once accepted

Key Dates:

• Call for papers opens February 17, 2003
• Full paper proposals submitted on or before June 30, 2003 (Extended

Call for Posters Proposals

In the Posters stream we want to provide delegates with an opportunity to showcase research that is at an early stage of development and allow the demonstration of say new software, or innovative course materials etc. Posters allow face-to-face presentations to individuals and small groups. Authors should submit a short abstract (up to 300 words in the body of an email) for consideration. If accepted, they would be expected to provide a standard poster presentation at the conference. Appropriate display space will be provided (A table with space for delegates to talk with the presenter and wall space for the poster - wireless connectivity may be available for lap-top computers). Poster presenters should also provide up to 1500 words as short paper (1 to 4 pages). This will be edited, but not refereed.
