-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: IMHE Workshop @ ITS 2020 Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 20:41:11 +0300 (EEST) From: Elvira Popescu <popescu_elvira(a)software.ucv.ro> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org First International Workshop on Intelligence Support for Mentoring Processes in Higher Education (IMHE 2020) at ITS 2020 (16th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems) Athens, Greece, 8-12 June 2020 https://its2020.iis-international.org/ Mentoring is the activity of a senior person (the mentor) sharing domain knowledge to a less experienced person (the mentee). Mentoring support is based on a trustful, protected and private atmosphere between the mentor and the mentee. The goal is to develop a professional identity and to reflect the current situation. At universities, mentors are senior academics or skilled employees while mentees are mostly students with different competences. Intelligent tutoring systems have a long tradition, focusing on cognitive aspects of learning in a selected domain. They were successfully applied especially in such areas, where the domain knowledge can be well formalised with the help of experts. Nevertheless, in the learning process also motivations, emotions and meta-cognitive competences play a crucial role. These can be nowadays quite well recognised and monitored through big educational data and a wide spectrum of available sensors. This enables the support also for the mentoring process, which is more spontaneous, holistic and depends on the needs and interests of the mentee. Psychological and emotional support are at the heart of the mentoring relationship, underpinned by empathy and trust. Various roles and success factors for mentoring have been identified as well. We want to look at these aspects and investigate how they were technologically supported, in order to specify the requirements for intelligent mentoring systems. This should help us to answer the following questions: How can we design educational concepts that enable a scalable individual mentoring in the development of competences? How can we design intelligent mentoring systems to cover typical challenges and to scale up mentoring support in universities? How can we design an infrastructure to exchange data between universities in a private and secure way to scale up on the inter-university level? How can we integrate heterogeneous data sources (learning management systems, sensors, social networking sites) to facilitate learning analytics supporting mentoring processes? == Topics include but are not limited to: * Pedagogical models of mentoring * Peer mentoring & crowdsourcing mentoring * Workplace & career mentoring * Meta-cognitive competences of mentoring * Chatbots in Mentoring * Mixed Reality Mentoring * Wearables and Sensors for mentoring * Self-regulated mentoring, nudging & behaviour change * Mentoring analytics * Mentoring support in learning management systems * Mobile mentoring support * Design and research methodologies for mentoring support * Measuring and Analysing mentoring support * Visualization techniques for mentoring support * Motivation and gamification of mentoring support * Deep learning, machine learning and data mining in mentoring support * Recommender technologies for mentoring support (mentor-mentee matching) * Semantic technologies for mentoring support (ontologies, domain & mentoring models) * Distributed mentoring environments (cloud & p2p platforms) * Mentoring for specific domains & subjects (math, engineering, social sciences, pedagogy) * Affective computing for mentoring * Requirements of intelligent mentoring systems == Paper submission and publication Position papers should be written in English and they should be 6-8 pages in LNCS format. Please submit your papers as a PDF document via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imhe2020. All submissions will be subject to a double-blind review process. A publication of the accepted papers is planned as a volume in the CEUR-WS.org series. We will also develop the workshop contributions into an article collection in Frontiers of Artificial Intelligence. == Important dates 20 April 2020 – Paper submission deadline 8 May 2020 – Notification of acceptance/rejection 20 May 2020 – Deadline for authors to submit final manuscript for publication TBA - Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for the workshop == Workshop Organizers Ralf Klamma (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) Milos Kravcik (DFKI, Germany) Elvira Popescu (University of Craiova, Romania) Viktoria Pammer-Schindler (Graz University of Technology, Austria) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

On the other hand, the increased digitalization of society and exponential technological developments have made participation in governance more technologically feasible than ever. Research and practice have sprung to investigate how emerging technologies could impact engagement in governance under such umbrellas as e-democracy (16), e-participation (21, 25), e-voting (26), e-petitioning (3), and online, participatory campaigning (11, 31), amongst many other governance engagement strategies. Engagement with governance is often facilitated through various technological means and strategies. Among others, games, game-based and playful approaches (10, 22, 23) have been utilized in governance and public engagement practices, for example through simulations and policy games (10). Emerging and connected technologies and strategies are similarly being utilized to foster engagement with governance through social media (2, 8), gamification & gameful design (12, 13, 18, 19), serious games (7, 32), persuasive technology (24), virtual (28) and augmented reality (4, 27). For example: serious games are being utilized to foster civic learning (9), gamification to promote formal interaction between citizens and policy makers (10, 13, 15), and virtual reality as means of promoting empathy, integration and social connection (5). Many have, additionally, explored how public spaces, and especially smart cities, could be made more engaging to citizens, often in playful ways (14, 23). Smart cities can become playgrounds, where inhabitants, for better or for worse, shape the city’s landscape: its public areas, walkways, social interactions and makeups through technologies (8, 14, 20, 23, 30). Location-based games such as Pokémon Go (4) were able to attract millions of players, making cities friendlier as spaces where individuals felt safer and were more likely to create social connections with their neighbors. Concepts such as Hackable Cities (20, 34), Playable Cities (23), and Urban Gamification (33) highlight the large-scale change that emerging technologies are bringing about in the smart cities of the future. Moreover, social media and user generated content have become a key player in public life through, for example, political memes (2, 8, 11), and organization of political and city activities (20). These emerging technologies and engagement strategies, amongst others, have shown and still hold a great potential for public engagement in governance. Nonetheless, engagement with governance and the public good can be seen to exist outside the common hurdles of the everyday life, where the effects of engagement are often invisible or take a long time to materialize (13, 18). While we could argue that the basic technological means for facilitating engagement in governance are available to remedy to the modern physical challenges that hinder exactly such engagement, public engagement with governance often swings between the extremes of being passive or active through logistically unsustainable online and offline movements engagement, such as has been seen with the Arab Spring (1, 17), occupy Wall Street movements (6), and some city alteration movements (20, 29, 34). Both, the lack of engagement in governance and unsustainable engagement with it are of detriment to governance and democratic practices. Alha, K., Koskinen, E., Paavilainen, J., & Hamari, J. (2019).

It isn’t surprising, then that our reality and lives are increasingly becoming game-like (6). This is not limited to the fact that digital games have become a pervasive part of our lives, but perhaps most prominently with the fact that activities, systems and services that are not traditionally perceived as game-like are becoming either intentionally or unintentionally gameful (4; 6; 10; 13; 14). Gamification refers to a “process of transforming any activity, system, service, product or organizational structure into one which affords positive experiences, skills and practices similar to those afforded by games, and is often referred to as the gameful experience. This is commonly but optionally done with an intention to facilitate changes in behaviours or cognitive processes. As the main inspirations of gamification are games and play, gamification is commonly pursued by employing game design” (6). Gamification has become an umbrella concept that, to varying degrees, includes and encompasses other related technological developments such as serious games (3), game-based learning (12; 24), exergames & quantified-self (8; 9; 21), games with a purpose/human-based computation games (17; 28), and persuasive technology (20). Secondly, gamification also manifests in a gradual, albeit unintentional, cultural, organizational and societal transformation stemming from the increased pervasive engagement with games, gameful interactions (6), game communities and player practices. For example, recently we have witnessed the popular emergence of augmented reality games (16; 17) and virtual reality technologies (2; 29) that enable a more seamless integration of games into our physical reality. Case in point are urban spaces that are increasingly becoming playgrounds for different games and -play activities. While location-based games such as Pokémon Go (1) were able to attract millions of players, concepts such as Playable Cities (19) and Urban Gamification (26) highlight the large scale changes that games are bringing about in the smart cities of the future. Moreover, the media ecosystem has also experienced a degree of ludic transformation: with user generated content becoming an important competitor for large media corporations. This transformation has led to the development of several emerging phenomena such as the Youtube and modding cultures (23; 27) and esports (7; 25), that have penetrated the cultural membrane allowing games to seep into domains hitherto dominated by traditional media.
