D4UTEL 2012 is a workshop organized as part of the 6th International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering that will be held in Madrid, Spain from July 10-13, 2012. The workshop seeks original papers on approaches, applications, methodologies, and tools related to the design of activities, resources, and systems for Ubiquitous Technology-Enhanced Learning (UTEL) environments. Topics of interest include languages and notations for UTEL design, frameworks and methodologies, standards and specifications, and more. Full papers must be submitted by January 15, 2012 and will be published in the IEEE conference proceedings if accepted.
