CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------

EIAE 2007 provides a virtual forum for the presentation and discussion of
state-of the-art research on Engineering Education, Instructional
Technology, Assessment, and E-learning. 

EIAE 2007 is one of thesub-conferences in the CISSE series of
international joint e-conferences.

CISSE is the World's first Engineering/Computing and Systems Research
E-Conference. 

CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research Conference in the world to 
be completely conducted online, in real-time, via the internet.

CISSE 2005 received 255 research paper submissions and the final program
included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. CISSE 2006
received 691 research paper submissions and the final program included 390
accepted papers, from more than 70 countries. 

The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet using
web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference. 

Authors will be presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations 
using web-conferencing tools without the need for travel. 

Conference sessions will be broadcast to all the conference participants, 
where session participants can interact with the presenter during the 
presentation and (or) during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation. 

This international conference will be held entirely on-line. 

The accepted and presented papers will be made available and sent to the 
authors after the conference both on a DVD (including all papers, 
powerpoint presentations and audio presentations) and as a book 
publication. Springer, the official publisher for CISSE, published the 
2005 proceedings in 2 books and the CISSE 2006 proceedings in four books. 


Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need an
internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be
able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking
conference. 

The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow academic 
professionals and industry participants to contribute their work and 
attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed
submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds
or time out of the office. 
 
The concept and format of CISSE is very exciting and ground-breaking. The
PowerPoint presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for
live presentations over the web had been available for weeks prior to the
start of the conference for all registrants, so that the participants can
choose the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that
they might want to ask. 

The live audio presentations were also recorded and are part of the 
permanent CISSE on-line archive - accessible to all registrants- which 
also includes all the papers, PowerPoint and audio presentations. 

Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line
conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint
conferences will be archived for future viewing.

The CISSE conference audio room provides superb audio even over low speed
internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations, and
cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing software runs on Windows,
Mac, and any other operating system that supports Java). 

In addition, the conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of 
participants, which in turn granted us the opportunity to allow all CISSE 
participants to attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the 
number of available seats for each session.

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers electronically in
Microsoft Word format through the website of the conference at

Accepted papers must be presented in the virtual conference by one of the
authors. To submit your paper, visit http://www.cisse2007online.org
