2nd
Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced
Learning
(ARTEL12)
to be
held in conjunction with EC-TEL 2012, Saarbrucken (Germany)

hashtag: #artel12
***************************************
Considering
the multitude of views on awareness and reflection
distributed
over a wide range of disciplines (CSCW, psychology,
educational
sciences, computer science...) the workshop's theme is
encapsulated
in the following question:
"What
do awareness and reflection mean in the context of TEL, and
how
can
technologies support either?"
This
workshop is a direct follow-up to last year's ECTEL
workshops
"ARNETS11
(Awareness and Reflection in Learning Networks)" and
"ALECR11
(Augmenting
the Learning Experience with Collaborative Reflection)".
***
Objectives ***
The
objective of this workshop is i) to provide a forum for
presenting
and
discussing research on awareness and reflection in TEL and
ii) to
provide
an interactive experience that connects participants'
research,
the
co-organizing projects' latest proto-types and models with
real end
users'
learning experiences and needs regarding reflection
technology.
The
target audience of ARTEL2012 are researchers and
practitioners in
the
field of TEL.
***
Format of the workshop ***
The
workshop format will thus be a mixture of paper and demo
presentations,
and sessions in which we will work to link theory and
existing
prototypes (both from the involved projects and from the
presented
papers and demos) to practical needs in educational and
professional
settings. This link is expected to be of value to both
practitioners
(in that research insights become more tangible), and to
researchers
(in that insights and research pro-totypes become grounded
in
practice. There will be a overall narrative trajectory
throughout the
day
moving from theory at the beginning of the workshop to
pragmatic
implementations
at the close.
***
Topics of interest ***
We are
looking for original contributions that address the
following
aspects:
#
Theoretical discussion of awareness and reflection in
Technology-Enhanced
Learning, and related theoretical concepts (e.g.,
collaborative
learning, creativity techniques, experiential learning,
etc.)
#
Methodologies to study awareness and reflection in the
context of
(technology-enhanced)
learning
#
Empirical studies about technology support for awareness and
reflection
#
Technology (design, application, evaluation) that supports
awareness
and
reflection
#
Awareness of social context, knowledge, artefacts and
processes
#
Awareness and reflection in specific contexts, such as
higher
education,
work-integrated learning, learning networks, etc.
Authors
are invited to submit original unpublished work.
Demonstrations
are
encouraged:
# Full
papers (max. 15 pages) that describe problems, needs, novel
approaches
and frameworks within the scope of the workshop. Empirical
evaluation
papers and industrial experience reports are welcome for
submission.
#
Short papers (max. 7 pages) that state the position of the
authors
within
the scope of the workshop and describe solution concepts and
work
in
progress.
#

work results
Please
submit your proposal via the ginkgo event management system
at
All
submitted contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least
two
members
of the program committee for originality, significance and
quality.
The papers will be published in the CEUR-WS.org

Supporting projects ***
ARTEL2012
pulls together research on awareness and reflection in
technology-enhanced
learning across disciplines (psychology, educational
science,
computer science) and across European TEL projects (MIRROR,
ImREAL,
STELLAR, MATURE, TellNET, TelMap as co-organising projects).

Background of the conference ***
The
EC-TEL 2012: Seventh European Conference on Technology
Enhanced
Learning
will take place between the 18th and 21st of September 2012
in
Saarbrucken,
Germany. This year's motto is 21st Century Learning for
21st
Century Skills.
The
European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL)
is a
unique
opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy
makers to
address
current challenges and advances in the field. Through
EC-TEL,
established
and emerging researchers as well as practitioners,
entrepreneurs,
and technology developers explore new collaborations,
strengthen
networks, and compliment their core experience. For more
