On behalf of the Educational Data Mining Steering Committee, I'd like
to announce a major development.
Within the next couple of years there will be changes in EDM's
organization, with the goal of increasing the sustainability of the
EDM conference series for the long-term. In these changes, the goal
will be to maintain scientific quality and our community's core values
and focus, while setting up an organization that can function
smoothly, indefinitely.
In line with recommendations from the broader community at the EDM2010
business meetings, the EDM steering committee has decided to found the
International Educational Data Mining Society. The creation of the
society will involve legal incorporation as a non-profit (location to
be determined), and will create opportunities for greater
participation and input from the broader EDM community.
The founding officers of the International Educational Data Mining
Society, chosen by election among the EDM Steering Committee during
EDM2011, will be:
PRESIDENT Ryan Baker, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA
TREASURER Michel Desmarais, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada
Neil T. Heffernan, Associate Professor, Computer Science Dept, Fuller
Labs Room 237
Co-Director of the
