<http://educationaldatamining.org/EDM2015/>
EDM is a leading international forum for high-quality research that
leverages data and data science to answer research questions that shed
light on the learning process. We invite submissions to EDM 2016, to be
held in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, under the auspices of the
International Educational Data Mining Society. Topics of interest to the
conference include, *but are not limited to*:
● Closing the loop between education data research and educational
outcomes
● Deriving representations of domain knowledge from data
● Detecting and addressing students' affective and emotional states
● Data mining with emerging pedagogical environments such as
educational games, MOOCs, and exploratory learning
● Multi-modal learning environments and sensor analysis
● Bridging EDM and Learning analytics
● Bridging EDM with pedagogical theory, learning sciences, and
learning theory
● Mining user-system interaction logs, automated feedback, and
grading.
● Best practices for adapting the state of the art data mining
approaches to the educational domain
● Data mining in social and collaborative learning
● Generic frameworks, techniques, research methods and approaches
for EDM
*SUBMISSION TYPES*
● *JEDM Journal Track Papers*: Submit your best work to the Journal
of EDM (submission is open already), get it accepted before April 11th,
2016 and have your work presented at EDM 2016. Accepted papers will be
published in JEDM shortly after the final versions are received.
● *Workshops, Tutorials: *2 pages. Workshops describe an emerging
subfield and the plan organizers have to build growth in this new area.
Tutorials describe a tool/method, the organizers and their expertise, and
a plan for attendees to learn it in a hands-on way.
● *Full Papers:* 8 pages. Original, substantive, mature and
unpublished work.
● *Short Papers:* 4-6 pages. This includes early stage, less developed
works in progress.
● *Industry Papers:* 4-6 pages. Innovative uses of EDM in a commercial
setting.
● *Doctoral Consortium:* 3 pages. Summary of doctoral student’s
research topic, proposed contributions, results so far, and aspects of the
research on which advice is sought.
● *Posters, Demos: *2 pages.
All accepted papers will be published in the open-access proceedings of the
conference. The EDM conference and the Journal of Educational Data Mining
(JEDM) <http://www.educationaldatamining.org/JEDM/index.php/JEDM> will
share a common track this year, the EDM 2016 Journal Track. The intention
is to accommodate researchers who want to make a more substantial
contribution than space allows at the EDM conference, and yet share the
opportunity to have a presence at the conference and present their work to
a live audience.
Submission guidelines are available on
