IEEE Education Society members,

The IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (IEEE TLT) is a new archival
quality journal jointly published by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE
Education Society. More information about the journal is available at:

                http://www.computer.org/tlt

"The Web revolution, the popularity of on-line learning, and the broad 
availability of computers in schools, colleges, universities, workplaces 
and in other social settings has caused a qualitative change in the field 
of learning technologies. Both the variety and complexity of e-learning 
tools have increased dramatically over the last 10 years. 

A number of new conferences emerged to provide a forum for researchers and 
practitioners in the field of learning technologies to discuss their work.

Yet, there are very few journals, which embrace the field as a whole and 
provide a space to publish archival quality papers. The goal of IEEE 
Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT) is to bridge this gap."


To handle an increasing volume of submissions, IEEE TLT plans to extend its
editorial board and solicits applications from academics and professionals
who are interested to serve. Applications are sought from experts in a
range of innovative learning technologies including, but not limited to:


 * Innovative online learning systems

 * Intelligent tutors

 * Educational software applications and games

 * Simulation systems for education and training

 * Collaborative learning tools

 * Devices and interfaces for learning

 * Interactive techniques for learning

 * Personalized and adaptive learning systems

 * Tools for formative and summative assessment

 * Ontologies for learning systems

 * Standards and web services that support learning

 * Authoring tools for learning materials

 * Computer support for peer tutoring

 * Learning via discovery, field, and lab work

 * Learning with mobile devices

 * Social learning techniques

 * Social networks and infrastructures for learning and knowledge sharing

 * Creation and management of learning objects

Successful candidates should be established and recognized experts in their
field of research, as indicated by a solid number of published papers on 
topic, high citation rates (measured by ISI or Google Scholar), editorial
and reviewing experience, and other commonly accepted factors.

Please send an application letter by e-mail to Wolgang Nejdl(nejdl at L3S.de)
the Editor-In-Chief of TLT. The letters should include URL(s) that provide
access to your CV and a list of relevant publications. To ensure full
consideration, the letters should be sent by 15 June 2008.
