As in ICTE2002, papers presented at m-ICTE 2003 will be published in a Proceedings Volume by the Organizing Comitee (Eds.: Antonio Méndez-Vilas and J.A.Mesa González), and will be distributed amongst all the attendees at the Conference. The book will be entitled “Advances in Technology-based Education: Towards a Knowledge-based Society" and will be published in a citeable form (ISBN). These proceedings serve as major sources in the IT & Education community. The printed Proceedings Volume is intended to be ready for distribution at the beginnig of the conference. For this reason all the potential contributors are strongly encouraged to strictly follow the deadlines. The conference organization is also negotiating with several international publishers and journals in order to offer the possitility to publish accepted papers in reputed journals, which would maximize the international visibility and impact of papers presented at m-ICTE2003.

A selection of authors of very good research papers will be invited to write extended versions for publication in several special issues. These are the journals from which we have received positive proposals for collaboration as publishers:

- International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT) (published by Inderscience)

- Educational Media International [web]

- Journal of Research on Technology in Education (JRTE). The quarterly JRTE publishes articles that report on original research, system or project descriptions and evaluations, syntheses of the literature, assessments of the state of the art, and theoretical or conceptual positions that relate to educational computing. International in scope and thorough in its coverage, the theoretical and conceptual articles in JRTE define the state of the art and future horizons of educational computing.

- European Journal of Special Needs Education (specially with papers presented at the Workshop of ICTs for People with Special Needs).

- Journal of Distance Education (papers mostly related to Distance Education, Virtual Campus, Quality assesment in Open/Distance education, etc.)

- The Internet and Higher Education (published by Elsevier). The Internet and Higher Education, a is quarterly journal devoted to addressing contemporary issues and future developments related to online learning, teaching, and administration on the Internet in post-secondary settings. It is a peer-reviewed journal intended to be a vehicle for scholarly presentation and dissemination of contributions, theoretical and applied, significantly addressing innovative deployments of Internet technology in instruction and reporting on research to demonstrate the effects of the Internet and information technology (IT) on instruction in various contexts in higher education

- Technology, Pedagogy and Education journal [web] Technology, Pedagogy and Education is a fully-refereed international journal concerned with supporting educators in the integration of information technology in the teaching and learning process.

- Research in Science & Technological Education journal [web] (specially for the papers presented within the Workshop on Multimedia and ICTs in Science Education and Publlic Communication). Research in Science & Technological Education publishes original research from throughout the world dealing with science education and/or technological education. It publishes articles on psychological, sociological, economic and organisational aspects of science and technological education, as well as evaluation studies of curriculum development in these fields

- Journal of Educational Media [web] The journal is particularly interested in articles that have a focus on ‘education’ and not just on ‘media’. We like articles that do more than just present teacher’s or developer’s case studies, e.g. ‘This is how we used WebCT in Physics’, ‘Videoconferencing in Economics’, etc. We prefer ones that include findings from evaluation studies, etc. and can illuminate ‘educational media in real use’ rather than just what the developers hoped would happen.

The goal of the Conference organizers is to produce high quality and high impact special issues of the participating Journals.

We accept papers reporting original research (and/or case study / development), surveys and essays. All papers must be original, that is, never published before. You will be asked to sign a standard publication release. All papers will undergo blind peer review. A maximum of two papers will be accepted per registered author (for virtual participants a fee has been established per accepted paper).
