The conference also features six to eight world-class keynote speakers discussing the most pressing topics within eTourism. Location The 26th edition of ENTER will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus. Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus; a status it has enjoyed for 1000 years since the 10th century, though its beginnings date back 5000 years to the Bronze Age. Nicosia is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city, rich in history and culture that combines its historic past with the amenities of a modern city. Cyprus is an island drenched in sun and mythology, at the crossroads of ancient civilizations. 9,000 years of history gathered on one island. Cyprus packs a remarkable array of sights and attractions, museums and archaeological parks, throbbing beach resorts, pine covered mountains, medieval fortresses and ancient temples. Over the last few years, it has become one of the top touristic European destinations breaking in consecutive years the record of tourist arrivals. It is expected that in 2018, more than 3.6 million tourists will visit Cyprus and plans target a steady intake of 5 million tourists per year. More information about Nicosia and Cyprus as well as what the island and its capital offer can be found on the conference web site.

Dear colleagues, This is a final Call for Papers for a special issue of the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET) on the topic "Re-Examining Cognitive Tools: New Developments, New Perspectives, and New Opportunities for Educational Technology Research". The special issue seeks to rekindle and re-energise scholarly interest in, and dialogue around, the concept of educational technologies as cognitive tools for learning, with a particular focus on higher education and other post-secondary education contexts. A major goal is to encourage researchers and practitioners to take a fresh look at the concept and its possible applications in light of developments in not only technology, but also learning theory, pedagogy, instructional design, cognitive science, and psychology, that have taken place since the concept was first popularised in the early 1990s. The full Call for Papers is available at https://goo.gl/7mc7Uh . The final, extended deadline for full manuscript submissions is 1 October 2018. However, to assist in forward planning, prospective authors are urged to make contact with the guest editors as soon as possible to express their interest, and shortly thereafter to provide a brief proposal or abstract outlining the nature, content, and aims of the intended article. Please feel free to share this information with others who you think might be interested.

The Digital Democracies Group at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship for a full academic year to work with Professor Wendy Chun at the SFU School of Communication, starting September 2018. The Digital Democracies Group integrates research in the humanities, social sciences and data sciences to address questions of equality and social justice. Current research projects focus on ways to combat the current proliferation of online echo chambers and discriminatory algorithms by creating alternative data literacies and paradigms for connection: from applications and methods to transform hostile social media exchanges into productive dialogs, to critical analyses of fake news and its historical evolution. The successful candidate will be involved in a research project examining the relationship between networked and physical segregation, as well as ways to combat this segregation through the development of new networking models. Candidates must have their Ph.D. in a relevant discipline within the humanities, social sciences, or physical sciences, a demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality research in Natural Language Processing, Data/Network Science, and/or Media Theory, and strong written and oral communications skills. They should also have experience working in an interdisciplinary setting. This fellowship is renewable for up to a total of 3 years; renewals are based on performance and availability of funding. The fellowship carries an annual stipend of CA$45,000. Candidates should email their CV, a summary of research interests, and the contact details of two references to Mark Campbell (mark_campbell(a)sfu.ca<mailto:mark_campbell@sfu.ca>) .
