Subject: [SANTECemailList] Second Call for Papers - Virtual Reality in
Distance Education
 * Second Call for Papers - Virtual Reality in Distance Education

This second Call for Papers is for a theme issue of the International
Journal of Social Sciences (IJSS) (http://www.enformatika.org/ijss/)
entitled Virtual Reality in Distance Education. The projected publication
date is October 2007 (Volume 1, N. 4). The Guest Editor is Gulsun Kurubacak,
Ed.D. (gkurubac at anadolu.edu.tr)

International Journal of Social Sciences (IJSS) is a scholarly open access,
peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, quarterly and fully refereed journal
focusing on theories, methods and applications in social sciences. This open
access, peer-reviewed journal encourages top-flight social science inquiry
and research across all social science disciplines. It also recognizes
contributions made by the social science research community to other
disciplines, including biological and physical sciences, and promotes
connections between all research communities.

Welcome are submissions on Virtual Reality communications, pedagogies,
technologies, and managements. The aim of this Special Issue is to add to
the body of literature and encourage discussions and promote the exchange of
ideas and information on Virtual Reality in Distance Education.  Our intent
is to stimulate critical debate and research, and add to the theoretical
foundation used to underline Virtual Reality research, approaches,
principles, and applications. Improvements in Virtual Reality have powerful
impressions on digital society; therefore concentration will also be paid to
