Title: "Artificial Intelligence in Education : Methodologies,Applications and Challenges"
Abstract: The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI ) in education has become the most challenging area in the last several years. AI is based on many disciplines such as: computer science, biology, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, linguistics, and knowledge engineering. AI theories and approaches receive increasing attention within the modern educational technologies .Researchers have been used the AI concepts and methodologies to develop a robust generation of intelligent tutoring and learning systems.. Moreover, the convergence of AI,data science and web science is enabling the creation of a new generation of web-based intelligent tutoring systems. The aim of this talk is to make an overview of some of the AI methodologies and techniques for developing the intelligent tutoring/Learning systems. The talk presents the following four paradigms ; case-based reasoning ,ontological engineering, data mining and intelligent agents.Moreover ,the talk addresses the challenges faced by the application developers,data scientists and knowledge engineers in developing and deploying AI-based tutoring/Learning systems.In addition ,the talk presents some applications developed by the author and his colleagues at Artificial intelligence and Knowledge Engineering Research Labs, Ain Shams University, AIKE Labs-ASU , Cairo,Egypt http://aiasulab.ga2h.com/About/

Title: "From Embedded Systems to Cyberphysial Systems to the Internet of Things: Consequences for STEM Education"
Abstract: The paper presents experiences with student projects aiming at gradually acquiring practical command of programming skills in the areas of embedded computing systems, cyberphysical systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Three projects are described, one per each domain: Google glass as an example of an embedded system, networking a 3D printer as an example of a cyperhysical system, and using a smatwatch to collect medical data and make them available to doctors and patients, as an IoT device. An impact of the results of these projects on STEM education is discussed.

Title: "Creating Inspiring Learning Environments by Means of Digital Technologies"
Abstract: One of the most interesting challenges that many schools are facing today is the introduction of the most recent digital technologies in the learning process. These technologies also turn out to be efficient for the students in terms of motivation. Motivation and the nature of the learning experience are important factors for all students, but particularly for students with dyslexia. This research paper explores the effectiveness of using mobile technologies to support a course titled in Music Technology. Specifically, it discusses the effects of WhatsApp mobile learning activities guided by activity theory on students' knowledge Management. Results showed that students with dyslexia compensated for their processing deficits by relying on learning strategies and help seeking

Title: "Online Resources for Education"
Abstract: Many courses around the world make use of the Internet, ranging from simple communication via email, using a learning management system (LMS), posting course material like syllabus, to offering assignments. Some of the more advanced courses conduct assessments, use interactive electronic texts, offer live or on-demand lecture delivery, and offer one-on-one consulting despite the physical distance between participants. The online resources provide a great convenience for students because of flexibility in scheduling and geographic location, even though they never have to physically meet with the professor. Use of online resources is rapidly expanding and judicious adaptation of these resources can significantly enhance the teaching/learning engineering process, especially for today's technology savvy "iGen" students. The change is occurring so fast that, in presenter's opinion, the education landscape will look vastly different within a generation or so. The conventional system of education with a teacher lecturing in front of a class, which has been practiced for thousands of years, will change to be significantly enhanced with online resources and may become the primary mode of education to the mainstream students. In the presentation, a wide range of online resources, from basic to advanced, will be briefly discussed based on the years of personal experience of the authors at The Pennsylvania State University on the topics below: 1. Learning management systems (LMS) 2. Use of dynamic interactive experiments and remote laboratories 3. Online interactive electronic texts 4. Lecture capture processes and systems for live online and for on-demand lecture offering 5. "Clickers" in live class and embedded questions in online class 6. Flipped classroom 7. Online tests and proctored vs self-administered assignments 8. Academic integrity issues 9. Faculty development After discussing how each of the techniques is employed, we will discuss the challenges addressed, and present several examples based on personal experience. Although most examples will be based on engineering education because of the presenter's background, the techniques are widely applicable to harness the tremendous power of Internet in the education sector in general.

Papers must be written in the correct format:  MS Word.doc  or LaTeX  or LaTeX2   and must be uploaded using the following form as .doc, or .pdf file. Invited and Regular Papers will be published in various Indexed Journals based on quality and reviewers' recommendations. Only full papers will be promoted to reviewers for thorough peer review.  The deadline for paper submission expired. We do not accept papers any longer.
