*************************************************
4th International Workshop on
INTELLIGENT SUPPORT IN EXPLORATORY ENVIRONMENTS
(ISEE@EC-TEL'10)
http://link.lkl.ac.uk/isee-ectel10
to be held in conjunction with the
Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
"Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice"
Barcelona (Spain), 28 September-1 October 2010
(Selected papers will be invited to submit extended
versions for a journal special issue.)
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: July 4th (extended)
Notification of acceptance: July 18th
Camera-ready version: September 4th
Workshop: 28th/29th September, Learning Café Methodology
OBJECTIVES
There is a growing research interest in Exploratory Learning
Environments (ELEs). ELEs can be contrasted with more traditional
intelligent systems that are oriented to well-defined tasks and
domains, and generally constraint the learning trajectory by
prescribing the sequence of steps and tasks that the learners
undertake. ELEs have been found to be particularly beneficial in terms
of providing opportunities for acquiring deep, conceptual and
structural knowledge. However, there are several factors that can
impede appropriate learning within an ELE, and a crucial determinant
of learning is the nature of support provided by teachers, peers,
technologies and the structure of the learning activities.
There has been a lot of work in the learning science literature about
support for learning in ELEs, but developing the technology to support
learning processes faces several impressive challenges. On this
edition of the workshop, the focus is on using intelligently supported
exploratory environments in ecologically valid situations, e.g.
integrated in a classroom or workplace. What are the main challenges
that are faced when exploratory environments are taken out of the lab
and faced with real-world learners? How can they be overcome? And how
can these systems be evaluated?
We encourage researchers to submit papers related to these questions
and the topics listed below. Additional information about the
challenges of providing intelligent support for exploratory
environments can be found at the workshop web page at
http://link.lkl.ac.uk/isee. The web page also enumerates the research
questions that will be the focus of the workshop.
This edition builds on the success of the former three editions of
ISEE at EC-TEL'08, AIEd'09, and ICLS'10.
TOPICS OF INTEREST (but not limited to)
- Adaptive feedback for exploratory tasks
- Design of exploratory learning environments
- User, domain, and task modelling in exploratory environments
- Technical and pedagogical Evaluation of support for explorative environments
- Authoring of open-ended tasks with intelligent support
- Modelling based on open-ended tasks
- Fuzzy and probabilistic techniques for modelling
- Educational data mining in exploratory environments
- Sequencing of activities in open learning environments
- Support for teachers in blended learning scenarios
- Collaborative tools for open environments
- Collaborative learning in open environments
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will be discussion-oriented framed around specific
questions. The aim therefore is to have fruitful discussion prior and
during the workshop rather than a mini-conference format.
In particular, the methodology used will be based on an adaptation of
the 'learning discussion forum' (aka Learning Cafe Methodology) which
involves experts' introductions and group discussions ensuring that all
participants can have a direct impact in addressing the workshop
questions. This methodology has been successfully implemented in
previous editions of ISEE, with good feedback from participants.
More details of this methodology are given at the workshop web
page (http://link.lkl.ac.uk/isee/)
SUBMISSION
Authors should submit papers that clearly address one or more of the
questions to be explored at the workshop. All submissions will be
refereed by the Programme Committee in order to decide on acceptance
based on originality, clarity, and relevance to the community.
Full papers should should be 8-10 pages long and short papers should
be up to 5 pages. Authors should follow the same template that is
used for the main conference. All papers should be formatted according
to Springer-Verlag LNCS guidelines. LaTeX and word templates can be
found at the Springer-Verlag website (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
Accepted papers will be incluided the workshop proceedings, to be
published as part of the CEUR Workshop proceedings series (CEUR-WS.org
is a recognized ISSN publication series, with ISSN 1613-0073). Papers
will be discussed prior to the workshop and form the basis for the
discussions on the day of the workshop.
Selected papers will also be invited to submit extended versions for a
journal special issue (details to be confirmed at a later stage).
Papers should be sent by email to isee.submission@xxxxxxxxxx
