EDM 2014: The Seventh International Conference on Educational Data Mining

4-7 July 2014 in London, UK

edm2014@xxxxxxxxx

We invite submissions to the 7th International Conference on Educational
Data Mining (EDM2014), to be held under the auspices of the International
Educational Data Mining Society <http://educationaldatamining.org/> on 4-7
July 2014 at the Institute of Education, London, UK.


The EDM conference is a leading international forum for high-quality
research that mines large data sets in order to answer educational research
questions that shed light on the learning process. These data sets may come
from the traces that students leave when they interact, either individually
or collaboratively, with learning management systems, intelligent tutoring
systems, educational games or when they participate in other data-rich
learning contexts. The types of data therefore range from raw log files to
eye-tracking devices and other sensor data.


Being hosted in London, UK EDM 2014 invites us to think BIG. The theme of
the conference is “Big Data – Big Ben – Education Data Mining for Big
Impact in Teaching and Learning”. We particularly solicit submissions that
look into EDM applications with a measurable impact on the future of
teaching and learning. Appreciating this impact, particularly with an eye
to scaling up, requires an interdisciplinary approach and the coming
together of different stakeholders. EDM 2014 will therefore bring together
practitioners, industry representatives, and researchers from cognitive
psychology, computer science, education, learning sciences, neuroscience,
psychometrics, and statistics.


EDM 2014 will precede the 22nd conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and
Personalization — UMAP 2014, 7 - 11 July 2014, in Aalborg, Denmark.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Closing the loop between education data research and educational outcomes
   -

   Stealth assessment and evaluating the efficacy of curriculum and
   interventions
   -

   Deriving representations of domain knowledge from data
   -

   Detecting and addressing students’ affective and emotional states
   -

   Integrating data mining and pedagogical theory
   -

   Data mining with emerging pedagogical environments such as educational
   games, MOOCs, and exploratory learning
   -

   Multi-modal learning environments and sensor analysis
   -

   Providing feedback to teachers and other stakeholders generated from EDM
   methods
   -

   Papers that apply a previously used EDM technique to a new domain, or
   that reanalyze an existing data set with a new technique.
   -

   Best practices for adaptation of state of the art analytic techniques to
   information retrieval, recommender systems, opinion mining, auto scoring,
   and learner modeling
   -

   Collaborative learning
   -

   Generic frameworks, methods, and approaches for EDM


SUBMISSION TYPES

Full Papers

6-8 pages. Should describe original, substantive, mature and unpublished
work.

Short Papers

4 pages. Should describe original, unpublished work. This includes early
stage, less developed works in progress.

Industry Papers

4-6 pages. Industry papers should describe innovative ways in which data
drives system features or processes in a commercial setting.

YRT/Doctoral Consortium

3 pages. Should describe the graduate/postgraduate student’s research
topic, proposed contributions, results so far, and aspects of the research
on which advice is sought. Should be solely authored by the student.

Posters/Demos

2 pages. Posters describe original and unpublished work in progress and
late breaking results. Demos describe educational data mining tools and
systems, or educational systems that use EDM techniques.
