On January 9, Marc Santos of the Interactive Media Design Lab (IMDL) of Nara Institute of Science and Technology presented an internship opportunity for incoming fourth year and graduating BS Computer Science students. The internship allows students to spend 30 days at the IMDL developing an educational augmented reality application. Click on this link for Mr. Santos’s presentation materials.
Helping us welcome the new year, Dr. Joseph Beck of Worcester Polytechnic institute met with students and faculty of the Ateneo Laboratory for the Learning Sciences on January 7, 2013. Dr. Beck listened to presentations from the senior theses groups as well as Thor Collin Andallaza (MSCS) and offered suggestions about how the groups might proceed in their work. We thank Dr. Beck for his time, his interest, and most of all for the knowledge and experience he so generously shared!

Transfer requires comprehension, application and synthesis of learning to other contexts. Hence, the design of learning practices and technologies to scaffold and afford transfer is crucial to the inculcation of meaningful learning practices. We regard classrooms as emergent systems where communities link research and practice within situated learning cultures. This special issue follows from the 1st International Workshop on ICT Trends in Emerging Economies. We welcome papers linking research and practice in two categories, with special focus on adapting curricula and methodologies to meet the needs of emerging economies. The first category of papers involves research informing practice, i.e. theoretically-grounded conceptual papers and empirical papers. The second category involves how practice informs research. Papers revolving around the design and development of adaptable curricula and low-threshold technologies which can be easily adopted and adapted by these emerging economies are strongly encouraged.
