CAF 2013 – September 25 – 27, 2013, in
Kazan, Russia
Sixth Special Track
on
Computer-based
Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in
Learning Settings (CAF)
This special track
will take place during ICL 2013 in Kazan, Russia (25 - 27
September 2013) as a special programme item.
The Special Track
CAF 2013 provides an interdisciplinary forum for
international scientists and practitioners to discuss
various aspects of e-assessment and learning analytics in
learning settings and based on that feedback provision for
students and teachers. This year CAF is organized in
cooperation with the European funded project ALICE (Adaptive
Learning via Intuitive/Interactive, Collaborative and
Emotional System), http://www.aliceproject.eu.
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.
CAF is interested in
novel scientific research, findings from experiments and
results from real-life applications. We invite submissions
that deal with issues including, but not limited to:
