Theme 1: Mixed reality and other HCI trends

The disappearing computer, the less and less clear boundary between virtual space and physical space, is social navigation only useful for one-line shops, … what's up in HCI?

Theme 2: Next virtual campuses

Most e-Learning platforms are more or less similar: document management, quizz editors, learner management systems, What else should be provided in future e-learning platforms? Most current fuss is about standards, what about innovation?

Theme 3: Distributed teams

When you split a team over different geographical area, it will soon became two teams, even if the people get phones, email, chats, video, … all current technologies. Why? They loose informal and contextual communication tools. What does that cover? Could new technologies partly help?

Theme 4: North-South links

Tecfa receives an increasing number of requests for collaboration with developing or less rich countries. This could be perceived as non-sense, as some of these countries should have higher order priorities. This could also be an opportunity for them to access to knowledge more easily than by leaving their country… What useful can we do in this area?
