-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Contents of Vol. 14, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal) Datum: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 11:21:18 +0800 Von: Maiga Chang <maiga.igibook(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Maiga Chang <Maiga.IGIBook(a)gmail.com> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Contents of Vol. 14, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal) [Apologies if you receive multiple times, please circulate this to your colleagues who might be interested, thank you so much.] [This email includes the table of contents of Vol. 14, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal) and the general call for papers of IJDET] ------- Annoucement of the publication of -------------- ----- Vol. 14, No. 1 of IJDET (an EI journal) ----------- http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-… We are glad to announce the publication of Vol. 14, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal), a special issue on Visual Aspects in Technology Enhanced Learning. In this issue, the following papers are included: Special Issue on Visual Aspects in Technology Enhanced Learning Luigi Laura, Umberto Nanni, Marco Temperini http://www.igi-global.com/pdf.aspx?tid%3D143246%26ptid%3D131600%26ctid%3D15… Interactive Visualization Tools to Improve Learning and Teaching in Online Learning Environments (pages 1-21) Kirsi Kuosa, Damiano Distante, Anne Tervakari, Luigi Cerulo, Alejandro Fernández, Juho Koro, Meri Kailanto This paper presents two interactive visualization tools for learning management systems (LMS) in order to improve learning and teaching in online courses. The first tool was developed at the Intelligent Information Systems Laboratory (IISLab) at the Tampere University of Technology (TUT). The tool is used to analyse students' activity from automatically recorded user log data and to build interactive visualizations. They provide valuable insights into the learning process and participation of students in a course offered to teachers and students. The second tool was developed at the Unitelma Sapienza University. It extends navigation and search functionalities in the discussion forum of an LMS with a topic-driven paradigm. The tool analyses forum content and automatically identifies discussion topics. It then enhances the original forum with a topic-driven navigation structure and an interactive search graph. Both tools have been developed as plug-ins for the Moodle LMS, but their analysis processes and techniques can be adopted into any LMS. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010101 Technologies for Interactive Learning and Assessment Content Development (pages 22-43) Marjan Gusev, Sasko Ristov, Goce Armenski Recent technology trends evolved the student assessment from traditional ones (“pen-and-paper” and “face-to-face”) to modern e-Assessment system. These modern approaches allow the teachers to conduct and evaluate an exam with huge number of students in a short period of time. Even more important, both the teacher and the students achieve the evaluation results immediately after the assessment has finished. Although the e-Assessment system speeds up the evaluation, teachers face a huge challenge to prepare, organize and generate a huge set of questions. The questions must cover all learning objectives and their number should be as large as possible to prevent cheating by guessing or memorization of correct answers from previous exams. This paper presents several technologies that can efficiently realize strategies to develop a huge question database with minimal teacher efforts. It also describes the methodologies and strategies based on a specific technology. The technologies are categorized in two classes of e-Assessment systems that are used at the authors' faculty: the traditional e-Assessment system with usual multiple-choice answers and the newest e-Assessment system with interactive images. The question generation is based on defining the questions and answers as XML files (for more advanced users) and MS Word-based files (for users with basic IT background). The question database can be used both for efficient and effective e-Assessment and e-Learning. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010102 Supporting Children in Mastering Temporal Relations of Stories: The TERENCE Learning Approach (pages 44-63) Tania Di Mascio, Rosella Gennari, Alessandra Melonio, Laura Tarantino Though temporal reasoning is a key factor for text comprehension, existing proposals for visualizing temporal information and temporal connectives proves to be inadequate for children, not only for their levels of abstraction and detail, but also because they rely on pre-existing mental models of time and temporal connectives, while in the case of children the system has to induce the development of a mental model not existing yet. Filling this gap was the main goal of the FP7 European project TERENCE, which developed an adaptive learning system shaped around the concepts of repeated interaction experience and of graded text simplification and consistent with consolidated pedagogical approaches built on question-based games. In particular, in this paper the authors present the main features of its learner-oriented read-and-play visual interaction environment that, according to the dual-coding theory, follows a two-tiers approach pairing verbal and visual information. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010103 Robotic Teaching Assistance for the “Tower of Hanoi” Problem (pages 64-76) Nguyen Duc Thien, Annalisa Terracina, Luca Iocchi, Massimo Mecella In this work the authors investigate the effectiveness of robotics in education. Rather than creating excitement for children when playing with robots in games, they are examining the overall learning environment where a robot acts as a teaching assistant. They designed a suitable lesson plan when groups of teenagers participate in activities involving the use of the robot: the authors first performed experiments for the robot to solve the “Tower of Hanoi” problem; then, they designed a lesson plan to teach the “Tower of Hanoi” problem using a KUKA youBot as a teaching assistant. The experiment involved two groups of students: one group was taught with the robot and the other group without the robot. Finally, the authors present results of a comparative study based on questionnaires, in order to understand if the effectiveness of the teaching has been greater with the robot as teaching assistant. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010104 Note-Taking Evaluation using Network Illustrations based on Term Co-Occurrence in a Blended Learning Environment (pages 77-91) Minoru Nakayama, Kouichi Mutsuura, Hiroh Yamamoto Note contents taken by students during a blended learning course were evaluated, to improve the quality of university instruction. To conduct a quantitative comparison of the contents of all notes for effective instruction from lecturer to students to occur, the contents were mathematically compared and evaluated using two ways of summarizing the frequency of term co-occurrences. In order to evaluate visually the differences between the contents of notes taken, an adjacency matrix and Levenshtein distance metrics were employed to represent noun co-occurrence in the notes. In comparing notes between the lecturer and students, insufficient distance and additional distance are defined and measured for all participants during the course. In the results, students recorded additional nouns to replace the nouns given by the lecturer, and introduced new nouns of their own as substitutes as well. There are significant correlation relationships between the above mentioned distances and the ratios, such as between the word ratio and coverage, which have been defined in previous studies. Also, summarizing ways of co-occurrence frequency did not affect any of the relationships. Finally, possible applications for visualizing learning activities of the lecturer and students are discussed. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010105 Colouring the Gaps in Learning Design: Aesthetics and the Visual in Learning (pages 92-103) Fiona Carroll, Rita Kop The visual is a dominant mode of information retrieval and understanding however, the focus on the visual dimension of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) is still quite weak in relation to its predominant focus on usability. To accommodate the future needs of the visual learner, designers of e-learning environments should advance the current attention on usability and functionality to include aesthetics, the visual and the affective. The challenge lies in finding a way to fully address the needs of the visual learner. This paper explores the role of visual aesthetics in improving engagement in online learning. DOI: 10.4018/IJDET.2016010106 ------- General Call for Papers for IJDET (an EI journal)----------- The electronic version of this cfp can be seen at http://maiga.athabascau.ca/editors/IJDET-Call_for_Papers-General.pdf International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET) (http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-…) The International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET) is a forum for researchers and practitioners to disseminate practical solutions to the automation of open and distance learning.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Computer-Based Learning Environments for Deep Learning in Inquiry and Problem-Solving Contexts – Workshop at ICLS 2016, Singapore Datum: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 10:31:02 +0800 Von: maggie wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Computer-Based Learning Environments for Deep Learning in Inquiry and Problem-Solving Contexts http://kmel-lab.org/website/deeperlearning.html An Workshop at the 12th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) 2016, Singapore https://www.isls.org/icls/2016/preconferencesessions.html Organizers: Minhong (Maggie) Wang, University of Hong Kong, Paul A. Kirschner, Open University of the Netherlands, Susan M. Bridges, University of Hong Kong Description: Learning through inquiry and problem solving, especially with authentic whole-task experience has been widely promoted in educational practice, and more recently in computer-based learning environments. Effective learning with real-world problems and authentic tasks, however, is not easy to realize because it often involves complex cognitive processes. While such complexity can overburden learners, instructors and other experts often underestimate this as the requisite processes have become largely automated for them due to their experience and expertise. This half-day workshop is intended to provide a platform for researchers to share: 1) their studies and findings about how deep learning in inquiry, problem-solving, and whole-task contexts can be empowered through effective design and implementation of computer-based learning environments, and appropriate analysis of learning in such environments; 2) the challenges they experienced in conducting such design-based research (e.g., methodological complexity, extended research process, need for domain knowledge, and commitment to advancing both theory and practice); and 3)useful strategies to deal with the challenges. Participation: Open to all. Key contributors will be invited to submit a short paper (1,500-2,000 words) outlining the three sharing-points above in a Word file to Maggie Wang (magwang(a)hku.hk). The paper should include title, abstract, own research results (point 1), experienced challenges (point 2), main strategies (point 3), conclusions, and references. Pre-workshop activities (for contributors): March 30, 2016: Submission of short papers due April 14, 2016: Acceptance notifications May 15, 2016: 3 slides to be sent to organizers Registration at the workshop ( https://www.isls.org/icls/2016/registrationrate.html) June 21, 2016: workshop (9:00am-12:30pm) Workshop agenda: The workshop will include short presentations by key contributors to share findings and key messages; small-group discussion by contributors and other participants on key questions, challenges, and strategies; and whole-group discussion to summarize key issues and pragmatic approaches. Workshop outcomes: The papers will be published in separate proceedings of the workshop that will be available at the Workshop’s website ( http://kmel-lab.org/website/deeperlearning.html). With the ultimate aim of improving situated learning with technology support, the workshop will help generate a summary of pragmatic approaches for design and analysis of inquiry, problem-solving, and whole-task oriented learning in computer-based environments, to be shared among a broader community, possibly via a special issue of a scientific journal. Post-workshop activities: Plans will be made during the workshop to decide on next steps towards publication in special issue. Contact: Participants interested in presenting their work during this workshop may contact Minhong (Maggie) Wang, magwang(a)hku.hk For more details, please visit the workshop website ( http://kmel-lab.org/website/deeperlearning.html). _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Call for Submissions: Doctoral Symposium on Foundations and Applications of Self-* Systems (FAS*W) Datum: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 13:14:08 +0100 Von: Jan-Philipp Steghöfer <newsletter(a)saso-conference.org> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> **************************************************************************** FAS*W 2016 (SASO and ICCAC) Call For Doctoral Symposium Submissions Doctoral Symposium on Foundations and Applications of Self-* Systems (FAS*W) Augsburg, Germany, September 12 & 16, 2016 http://fasstar2016.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/ http://iccac2016.se.rit.edu/ http://uni-augsburg.de/saso2016 @SASO2016Conf **************************************************************************** Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*) is the umbrella for two closely related but independent conferences, the International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO) and the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC). The FAS* Doctoral Symposium provides an international forum for PhD Students working in research areas addressed by FAS*. In this forum, PhD students will get unique opportunities to subject their research to the scrutiny of external experts, gain experience in the presentation of research, connect to peers and experts addressing similar problems, and get advice from a panel of internationally leading researchers. Different from the technical tracks of the conference, the FAS* Doctoral Symposium focuses on the specific needs of young researchers at the beginning of their career. As such, particular emphasis will be placed on a critical and constructive feedback that shall help participants to successfully conclude their PhD studies. PhD students working in any area addressed by the FAS* conferences are invited to submit a Doctoral Symposium paper in which they describe the key motivation and objectives of their research project, and reflect on the methodology as well as the current status of their PhD studies. Complementing the thematic focus of FAS*, we particularly solicit contributions in the following areas: * Engineering of self-organizing and self-adaptive systems We solicit theoretical and applied works addressing fundamental principles underlying self-organizing systems, as well as methods that allow to quantify, model and reproduce the self-* characteristics of complex systems in biological, social, physical and technical systems. Examples include mechanisms underlying distributed decision- making and collective intelligence, software engineering challenges in self-adaptive systems, as well as general application of self-* principles in the engineering of technical systems. * Complex Cyber-physical and socio-technical systems We welcome contributions that apply self-* principles to address challenges in the design of complex cyber- physical and socio-technical systems. Particular examples include smart grid infrastructures, sensor networks, opportunistic networking scenarios, as well as large-scale social information systems. Works addressing challenges such as the security, privacy and anonymity of users, or mechanisms to prevent censorship, manipulation or unfairness in socio-technical systems are especially welcome. We further solicit works on socio- technical and socio-economic challenges in P2P systems, such as the design of incentive, trust and reputation mechanisms. * Self-* approaches in Massive-Scale Decentralized Systems Works in this area use self-* approaches to address challenges in the design and operation of massive scale decentralized systems. Examples include Peer-to-Peer technologies, as well as overlay topology management schemes. We are further interested in decentralized data mining and machine learning approaches, as well as decentralized approaches to monitor, model and adapt distributed systems. Works using self-* principles to address the inherent challenges in the design of massive-scale systems with unreliable and heterogeneous are of particular interest. * Autonomic Computing Systems Here we are interested in all works addressing the self-configuration, self-optimization and self-adaptation of cloud computing services, data centers and general distributed computing systems. Examples for questions addressed in this area include the monitoring and modeling of cloud services, the design of efficient resource allocation mechanisms, the application of data mining and machine learning techniques to analyze and predict the behavior of technical systems, as well as the characterization of distributed computing workloads. * Application of Self-* in Robotics and Spatial Computing Finally, we welcome contributions using self-* principles in the areas of robotics, swarm robotics and spatial computing. Here, examples for works of interest include environmental modeling and perception, machine vision, and self-adaptation mechanisms in robotics, distributed coordination and collective intelligence in multi- robot systems, as well as novel paradigms for the programming of autonomous, spatially distributed entities. --------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------- Submissions should have a length of max. six pages and be formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.

A fundamental principle of both process orientation and value co-creation is to span boundaries within and across organizations. For boundary spanning, organizations, employees and customers (or people in general) rely on information systems as well as related techniques, models and methods. In today's world, boundaries are becoming increasingly dynamic. On the one hand, inter- and intra-organizational boundaries blur as people engage with each other in social media or other virtual communities. Organizations utilize web-based platforms with externals, e.g., in order to gather ideas for innovations from their customers and to streamline operations with business partners. Looking at the internal of the organization, employees are expected to participate actively in business process management (e.g., in terms of Social BPM), knowledge management and organizational learning in order to create customer value and, of course, increased corporate revenue. On the other hand, new boundaries can also emerge through the use of information systems in the process of creating customer value. Reasons for this are manifold, including digital connections that do not work instantaneously due to incompatible information systems, work practices that are not synchronized, and diverging organizational cultures. This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on the intersections between business process management, knowledge management and organizational learning, taking a boundary spanning perspective. We invite contributions from various disciplines including information systems, information management, organization, science, computer science and management science. Interdisciplinary research that connects the aforementioned areas is also welcome. We encourage papers applying a wide variety of methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.
