Preface To praise oneself is sure a fault; yet who That does aught good escapes it? If he feigns In those his words no whit, and all be true, The good for ever good remains. Book of Ill Humor West-Eastern Divan, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Translation by Edward Dowden)
ICWL is an annual international conference series on Web-based learning that has so far been held in Asia, Australia and Europe. This series represents the cooperation of European and Asian researchers to advance the field of Web-based learning. Numerous joint research papers and joint projects have emerged from the successful track record of ICWL. We have chosen a short quotation of the West-Eastern Divan by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to express the spirit of the conference series establishing a stable bridge of research between the continents. This year’s conference location was a perfect symbol of this spirit. The 8th ICWL 2009 was held in Germany’s westernmost located and truly European city Aachen. At the borders with Belgium and The Netherlands, it is within convenient reach of European centers like Brussels, Cologne, Paris and London. In its history, Aachen was the capital of Charlemagne, perhaps the first European emperor, and the place of coronation for the medieval Holy Roman Emperors following him. From its beginnings as a bathing resort of hot springs established since Roman times, Aachen was also a meeting point of the East and the West. As a city of pilgrimage, knowledge from the East found its way on the ancient routes and Western ideas traveled in the other direction. Exactly these old traditions are revitalized in papers collected in this proceedings volume. Accordingly, authors that submitted work to the ICWL 2009 conference came from more than 30 countries with remarkably many submissions from across Europe. Altogether, we received a total of 106 valid submissions. After a rigorous reviewing process, we decided to accept a total of 38 papers as full papers, representing an acceptance rate of 36%. In addition, we accepted another 14 papers as short papers. Moreover, we included three invited papers of renowned researchers into this conference proceedings volume. As a novelty, we had four co-located workshops with the conference. Having immediately attracted four workshops we interpreted this as an indicator of the significance and visibility of this conference series within the Web-based learning community. ICWL 2009 was jointly organized by the Hong Kong Web Society, RWTH Aachen University, and Max Planck Institute for Computer Science. August 2009
