Conference Themes The overarching conference theme is 'mLearning and Design for Social Change and Innovation'. Higher education institutions are called upon to provide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social change and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are encouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate competencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However, little is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can contribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship. The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can include any of the following: ? The development, deployment and implementation of mlearning in the context of social entrepreneurship, innovation and social change ? mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship ? Innovations in mlearning theory and pedagogy ? From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the deployment of mLearning ? Mobile technology to support open and distance learning ? Mobile technology for teaching and learning support ? Assessment techniques and practices in mLearning ? Design and development of learning material for mLearning ? Learning objects and metadata for mLearning ? Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies ? Challenges for mLearning in developing countries ? Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational institutions, companies and public sector organisations ? mLearning management systems (mLMSs) ? Computer tablets ? Creating interactive and collaborative mLearning environments ? Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging technologies ? Emerging hardware and software for mLearning including wearable technologies ? Location-aware technologies ? Contextual and situated learning ? Augmented reality ? Serious gaming and simulations ? Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning Submission Information The conference solicits regular papers (no more than 8 pages), short papers (no more than 4 pages), as well as posters (no more than 2 pages). The Program Committee may require an accepted paper to be adapted into a short paper or poster. All papers must be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for further information).

Due to the current administrations attitude towards science, an international movement has begun to bring attention to the importance of scientific research and evidence-based policies. A *March For Science* is scheduled around the world on April 22, 2017 (earth day) to assure that the relationship between science and democracy does not continue to erode. Because Information Science impacts all areas of society, we believe this is an important movement for ASIS&T to support. We are calling on our members to support the message that science is important to a civilized world, and ask that you participate in whatever way you can. There will be a main march in Washington, D.C., as well as 479 satellite marches around the world with several in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan. Chapters and SIGs might want to form their own groups for these marches, or individuals can just join in where they want. Please contact your groups to see how they are participating. To learn more about the March For Science and how to participate, please visit https://www.marchforscience.com/ . *If you participate, please let us know* so that we can announce your names in the next *Inside ASIS&T*.

Dear All We all use the Internet and the world wide web, and celebrate it for how it has equalized the information playing field. It has allowed unmediated p2p communication, and placed all content on an equal footing. Those who invented the Internet and the Web gifted it to the world so as to promote the public good. The key bodies establishing Internet standards such as the Internet Engineering Task Force and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), were similarly concerned to safeguard the Internet's core values of equality and openness. But as the Internet has evolved it has become as well, a key means for those with economic power to dominate and exploit. The various bodies now developing Internet standards are today dominated by trans-national digital corporations. Not surprising then that the new Internet/ Web standards increasingly respond to the needs of these corporations rather than of the public at large. Inspired by demands from the big content providers, the traditional movie and broadcasting companies, corporations like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Netflix, have come together to use the W3C to develop a new web standard which allows them to gain ever more power over the cultural and economic life of humanity. At the heart of this is the EME, a technical specification which has been developed at the World Wide Web Consortium and is now close to publication an official Recommendation of the W3C. The purpose of EME is to allow for the implementation of Digital Rights (Restrictions) Management (DRM) systems through which publishers will control what end users can do with the content they receive through the Internet. The effect of the W3C's support of DRM is a new form of digital colonialism where a black box of computer code installed in all browsers globally will enforce U.S. Copyright laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act without user consent or respect for local laws. Unlike earlier web standards this undermines fundamental principles of social justice and equality of access to information as well as fundamental principles of computer security. In response to this the Just Net Coalition has sent an open letter urging the W3C, and in particular the inventor of the WWW, Sir Tim Berners-Lee (who has veto powers at the W3C), to reject the EME. Louis Pouzin, an inventor of key elements of the original Internet, put it thus: ?Of course lobbies have financial and political means to ignore or distort standards in their products, but they want more. They need the guarantee of a reputable standard institution or outstanding individuals to boost the legalization of their marketing strategy.? The open letter can be found at http://www.justnetcoalition.org/2017/W3C_EME_objection.pdf The Web is at a crossroad, and your voice is valuable to stop its enclosure.
