Dear all,
please find the call for papers for the International Workshop on
Learner-Oriented Knowledge Management & KM-Oriented E-Learning (LOKMOL
2005). Please excuse any cross-postings. Please feel free to distribute it
to those who might be interested. On behalf of Eric Ras, best regards,

Call for Papers
1st International Workshop on
Learner-Oriented Knowledge Management
&
KM-Oriented E-Learning
(LOKMOL 2005)
Workshop affiliated to 3rd Conference on
Professional Knowledge Management
(WM 2005)
10 April - 13 April 2005, Kaiserslautern, Germany.
http://wm2005.iese.fhg.de/workshop3-en.html
=============================================================================
=========
MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND
An interview based study (Efimova, 2002) showed that perceived connections
between Knowledge Management and e-learning are not operationalised, i.e.,
the integration-ideas are rarely implemented in practice: So far, Knowledge
Management addresses learning mostly as part of knowledge sharing processes
and focuses on specific forms of informal learning (e.g., learning in a
community of practice) or to providing access to learning resources or
experts. Current Knowledge Management technologies focus on knowledge
acquisition, storage, retrieval, and maintenance. However, regarding the
deployment process, learning is considered to be a fundamental part of
Knowledge Management because employees must internalise (learn) shared
knowledge before they can use it to perform specific tasks (Rus & Lindvall,
2002). On the other hand, e-learning systems might also benefit from
Knowledge Management technologies. Especially the ones focusing on the
support of technical and organisational components can play an important
role concerning the development of professional e-learning systems.
Moreover, it is still unclear to what degree centralised or decentralised
systems (e.g., Weblogs, Wikis, XML/RSS based content syndication and
aggregation) support certain learning processes. Thus, this workshop is
based on the insight that Knowledge Management technologies need to take
into account findings from social sciences such as pedagogics or psychology,
to be effective in terms of learning and that learning can profit from
Knowledge Management technologies. In fact, there is a gap between well
organised, but monolithic and inert e-learning material such as courseware
on the one hand and dynamic and flexible knowledge bases that are not able
to activate learning processes on the other hand. An integration of
knowledge management and e-learning could dramatically change today's
understanding of further education towards lifelong learning fed by
dynamically changing public and organisational knowledge repositories.
GOALS AND WORKSHOP QUESTIONS
The workshop will focus on the following questions:
* Methods: Which pedagogical approaches are suitable to facilitate learning
from knowledge repositories? How can knowledge management systems be
enhanced to suit the learners' needs as well as pedagogical principles such
as informal and self-directed learning? What kind of pedagogical theories,
principles and methods can be applied to compose learning material (semi-)
automatically from knowledge chunks?
* Standards and technologies: Up to what extend do current knowledge
management and e-learning standards support such an integration of learning
and knowledge management? What are the requirements of Knowledge Management
technologies to support the learners' needs and individual learning
processes? What kind of technologies exist that combine stored knowledge to
learning material based on e.g., instructional design models or didactic
concepts? What are the advantages and disadvantages of centralised and
decentralised systems regarding learning processes?
* Empirical results: Which empirical findings demonstrate the efficiency and
effectiveness of learning material created in accordance with these methods
and technologies?
POSSIBLE TOPIC AREAS
- adaptivity and personalisation for learning
* adaptive information retrieval
* adaptivity in content presentation and presentation generation
* the importance of "context" and how it can be represented
* user modeling, user modeling frameworks, learning goals
- learner-oriented knowledge structuring
* metadata concepts; standardisation vs application needs
* ontologies to enable interoperability and to improve search and
navigation * issues of domain (in)dependence and generic approaches/systems
- learning with Knowledge Management
* integration of instructional design models in Knowledge Management systems
* philosophy of learning with Knowledge Management systems
* stimulating learning processes with Knowledge Management systems
- collaborative work and collaborative learning
* use of Knowledge Management systems in communities of practice
* use of Knowledge Management systems for informal or self-directed learning
- aspects of sustainability; from academia to professional Knowledge
Management and e-learning
TARGET GROUPS
The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners that are
interested in combining findings from two different fields: knowledge
management and e-learning. Thus, it especially addresses people with a
background in pedagogics or psychology who want to share their knowledge
with people from the more technology-oriented knowledge management
community. The workshop language will be English.
SUBMISSIONS
Each submission must explicitly address at least one of the questions above
(the fulfilment of this requirement will be part of the review process).
During the workshop all presenters will have the opportunity to state their
individual contribution to these questions. In summary sessions these
contributions will be collected and evaluated by the audience. Contributions
submitted should not exceed 4 pages for short papers and 6 pages for long
papers: * short papers: short descriptions of ongoing or beginning work,
topics for discussion, position papers, thesis descriptions. Length: up to 4
pages (including references) * full papers: full papers are detailed
descriptions of scientific work. Length: up to 6 pages (including
references)
The submitted papers should be written in English and be formatted according
to the Springer LNCS guidelines (have a look at
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,10735,5-164-2-72376-0,00.h
tml).
