2nd Call For Articles – LEARNING TECHNOLOGY NEWSLETTER (ISSN 1438-0625) publication of IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Learning Technology (TCLT) http://www.ieeetclt.org/content/newsletter SPECIAL ISSUE ON Learning Objects and Their Supporting Technologies for Next Generation Learning Guest Editors: Dr. Vincent Tam and Dr. Edmund Lam (Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, the University of Hong Kong) * Deadline for submission: September 11, 2009 Learning Technology Newsletter aims at publishing and disseminating current research about new and emerging learning technologies as well as their design, usage, application, and evaluation in different contexts of technology enhanced learning. Learning objects (LOs), as clearly defined by the IEEE 1484 standard, are potentially useful to many innovative applications for next generation learning. In many e-learning applications, LOs can be help to structure the organization of important concepts and their retrieval through indexed terms. To facilitate the explanation of difficult concepts in specific subject area(s), pictures or video files can be flexibly embedded into LOs. However, due to the high complexity of the designed structures adapted fornull
