In response to emerging research diversity, ICCE2014 will be a meta-conference, comprising of seven co-located theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C2: Computer-supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and Learning Sciences. All the accepted papers will be published in proceedings which will be indexed by Elsevier Bibliographic Databases (e.g., Scopus, Engineering Village and others). Authors of accepted distinguished full papers will be invited to submit extended versions of the papers for consideration of publication in Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning (RPTEL), the official academic journal of the Asia Pacific Society for Computers in Education. Since the emergence of the field on Learning Sciences, many researchers have developed a passion for understanding how learning occurs. Visions and goals that drive this interdisciplinary field include developing theories of learning, designing technology-supported learning environments and examining learning in context for understanding, transforming and creating opportunities towards deep, enriched and innovative learning. Researchers in the Learning Sciences go beyond learning outcomes; they are concerned with deep analyses of learning and collaborative processes, how technology and designs are informed with learning theories, and deriving design principles and successful conditions through which change and innovation occur for optimal learning. A strong tradition of research in the Learning Sciences is Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), a fast-developing area centrally concerned with how learning takes place through computer-mediated interactions, and how computers and designed space may support and promote collaboration. In C2, we want to highlight research efforts in Learning Sciences and CSCL that include and also go beyond those that are developed in North America and Europe. There are many researchers and academics active in this part of the world working on similar research issues and challenges in the field. With the more centralized education systems in Asia, various countries have articulated educational policies and the need to reform pedagogy and learning design towards more constructivist and social-constructivist orientations. These educational changes in the region are advantageous for the field and they provide good possibilities of appropriating the research outcomes of CSCL and Learning Sciences to impact practice, and to inform and chart new research directions. Researchers from different parts of the Asia-Pacific region also pursue their research from different theoretical orientations and contexts. Such diversity and synergy may spark progress in bringing together different perspectives to CSCL and Learning Sciences. We invite you to participate in this dialogue at this year’s ICCE in Bali, Indonesia.
