    eLearning for Computational Linguistics and Computational Linguistics for eLearning

    Date: 28-Aug-2004 - 28-Aug-2004 Location: Geneva, Switzerland Contact: Lothar Lemnitzer Contact Email: lotharsfs.uni-tuebingen.de Meeting URL: http://www.cogsci.uos.de/~vreuer/ws_elearning_cl/

    Linguistic Sub-field: Applied Linguistics ,Computational Linguistics

    Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2004

    This is a session of the following conference: 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

    Meeting Description:

    This workshop focuses on the relation between Computational Linguistics and eLearning. In two sessions, the role of eLearning in the field of Computational Linguistics and the contribution of language technology to the further development of eLearning environments shall be discussed.

    ''eLearning for Computational Linguistics and Computational Linguistics for eLearning''

    International Workshop in conjunction with

    the 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics COLING 2004

    Geneva, August 28th, 2004

    The workshop presents and dicusses papers which are in the intersection of Computational Linguistics / NLP and eLearning

    eLearning for Computational Linguistics

    This topic should be viewed as a follow-up of the 1999 EACL workshop Computer and Internet Supported Education in Language and Speech Technology}, the 2002 ACL workshop on Effective Tools and Methodologies for Teaching NLP, and the LREC 2004 Workshop on Language Resources: Integration and Development in eLearning and in Teaching Computational Linguistics. It will give practioners in the field the opportunity to share didactic experience of eTeaching CL, to identify and to disseminate good practice models and resources and to share novel approaches to eLearning in CL.

    Computational Linguistics for eLearning

    In this part of the workshop, we will address the role which language technology plays in the development of intelligent platforms for eLearning. One focus of this part of the Workshop will be the contribution of NLP to the building of intelligent computer-aided language learning (I-CALL) systems. This workshop, however will also show that NLP can improve the performance of eLearning environments in general.
