This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the FirstInternational Conference on Interdisciplinary Research on Technology,Education and Communication, ITEC 2010, held in Kortrijk, Belgium, inMay 2010. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed andselected from 38 submissions. The papers address all current issueswithin the fields of computer sciences, applied linguistics,methodology, and educational technology with special emphasis on topicssuch as distributed decision support, agent based systems, heuristicoptimization, heuristics for data mining, distributed search, pervasivelearning, mobile learning electronic language learning environments,language testing, CorpusCALL, authoring systems statistical modelling,item response theory, data mining, electronic assessment adaptive andadaptable learning environments, instructional design, game-basedlearning, learner characteristics, mobile learning.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint Conference of the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Technology, Education, Communication, and the Scientific Network on Critical and Flexible Thinking, held in Ghent, Belgium, in October 2011. The 12 papers in this volume represent extended versions of the 20 papers presented at the conference and selected from numerous submissions. The conference brought together scholars and researchers who study the use of serious games in educational settings from different perspectives, such as instructional design, domain specific didactics, cognitive and computer science.
