September 2009 - Villach, Austria* *First Special Track on /Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF)/* Due to some requests of potential authors we have decided to extend the deadline for paper submissions to July 3rd, 2009. Online Information: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2009 <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008> This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2009/CAF2009-CfP.pdf <http://www.iicm.edu/CAF2008/CAF2008-CfP.pdf> This special track will take place during ICL 2008 in Villach, Austria (23-25 September 2009) as a special program item. /The Special Track CAF 2009/ provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of computer-based knowledge & skill assessment in learning settings and based on that feedback provision for students and teachers. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * Extended Deadline: 03 July 2009: Submission of the full papers (8 pages) * 31 July 2009: Notification of acceptance * 31 Aug. 2009: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 23.-25.

Collective Knowledge is generated in a process that includes analysis and, in many cases, integration of multiple data sources. However, integration of massive or multiple data sources is just a prerequisite for creating Collective Knowledge. As named by Tom Gruber, this is Collected Knowledge (or Collected Intelligence). It becomes Collective Knowledge when new levels of understanding of such knowledge emerge, when "wisdom of the masses" creates new values. The focus of the workshop lies on how new knowledge can be discovered in such datasets, which processes are to be used to harvest the new knowledge, how and in which order the processes are to be applied, and finally, how the resulting Collective Knowledge can be represented. Not all models and representations for Collective Knowledge are created equal and what is easy and natural in one model can be even impossible in the other one. Within the scope of the CKCaR workshop we are specifically interested in the processes that lead to the capturing and creation of this new knowledge and models for representing it. We encourage the presentation and exploration of original work in capturing and representing collective knowledge and expect to stimulate further research in this area. More information at: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/confsec/CKCaR09/ Workshop Topics --------------- Topics of the workshop are within the area of knowledge capturing and representation on the massive scale. They include but are not limited to: * Methods for extracting Collective Knowledge from mass data input * Analysis and processing of mass data * Representation of Collective Knowledge (methods, models, techniques) * Modeling and Handling of inconsistencies or contradictions in Collective Knowledge * Applications that leverage of Collective Knowledge * Measuring of the quality of Collective Knowledge Paper Submissions ----------------- We invite submissions of full technical papers not exceeding 8 pages. Submissions in PDF format are via EasyChair system at: * http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ckcar09 Submissions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from the PC members and external reviewers. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their papers in the workshop. Papers must be formatted using the AAAI conference style.
