Dear Nicolas,

 

I am sure that this will be a good project and will be successful. Let me
know if I can help. Thanks a lot.

Subject: Join the TeLearn open archive

 

Dear Colleagues,

you may be aware of Open Archive initiative ( <http://www.openarchives.org/>
http://www.openarchives.org/) which is actively supported by our colleagues
in Physics, Mathematics, Computer-Science or Biology. (see for example
http://arxiv.org/). Unfortunately, "Technology for human learning" (or any
of its instance CAI, ITS, AIED, ILE, etc.) is not covered even as part of
the computing research repository ( http://arxiv.org/corr/home
<http://arxiv.org/corr/home> ) of the ArXiv. There exists some initiative,
like the French ones ( http://archiveseiah.univ-lemans.fr/
<http://archiveseiah.univ-lemans.fr/>   or
http://edutice.archives-ouvertes.fr/) but none international in our best
knowledge.

For this reason, the European research network Kaleidoscope has taken the
initiative of launching an open archive to cover our field: TeLearn (
http://www.telearn.eu/ <http://www.telearn.eu/> ). This archive welcomes all
literature from research, R&D and innovation in the field of Technology for
Human Learning. A characteristic of TeLearn it that it is fully
international: it welcomes contribution in whatever language and indeed is
not restricted to either Kaleidoscope membership or European research units.

Our current achievement provides the community with a repository, but there
is more to come among which tools to intelligently and efficiently search
the content of the database, and tools to facilitate the building of
communities of researchers sharing common interest on top of the content we
share. 

By the message I invite you all to join. Attached you will find a minimal
indication on the way to navigate the first pages to become affiliated. I
also join a document in which I share my view of the TeLearn challenge, you
may be interested to discuss it.

All your suggestions are welcome. One of them could be to set a special G1:1
collection and easy thing to and quite in-line with our original initiative

I wish you all a great and fruitful 2007
Happy new year
best
Nicolas
