> SCOPE
>
>  Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive
>  in our information-based society. However, most users still function
>  as passive consumers of technology. To evolve into a true knowledge
>  society, it is critical that we transform computer-based human
>  activities to engage users in the active process of creating,
>  connecting, and collaborating together.
>
>  The C5 conference is for researchers, technology developers,
>  educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing
>  and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration
>  processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work
>  as well as new work currently under development and for discussing
>  future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia
>  authoring environments. We welcome equally the submission of
>  technical papers and practitioner/experience reports for paper
>  presentations. In addition, we are adding a workshop track for the
>  third day of the conference and are soliciting proposals for
>  interactive workshops.
>
>  For the first time hosted in Europe, this conference builds on the
>  successes and high standards held by previous C5 conferences :
>  2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto (Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA).
>
> TOPICS OF INTEREST
>
>  Topics of interest include but not limited to
>
>   - Development and applications of collaboration tools and environments
>   - User collaboration using 3D, multimedia, and animation objects
>   - Technologies for creating educational environments
>   - Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and
>     Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL)
>   - Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), distributed work, and
>     virtual teaming
>   - Hybrid technology activities, such as scientific experiments,
>     instrumentation, robots, and game playing
>   - Development of applications/content for non traditional learning
>     environments, e.g. mentoring, peer-to-peer, "teacherless"
>     environments (in developing countries), low cost and sustainable
>     technologies, e.g., $100 laptop
>   - Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher
