Minitrack 2: Learning Analytics and Intelligent Learning Applications

Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED)

@ AMCIS 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah

August 12-16, 2020

 

Dear colleagues,

 

Within the AMCIS 2020 track “IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED)” (https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-15), we are looking for your submissions in the new minitrack “Learning Analytics and Intelligent Learning Applications”.

 

Minitrack Description:

Nowadays, an increasing student-to-lecturer ratio is a common challenge in academic education. Due to this, learning processes suffer for three main reasons: (1) The interactivity between students and lecturers decreases, (2) the workload for educators to provide high-quality feedback to all students exceeds, and (3) offering individualized learning support to students becomes more difficult. By providing intelligent learning applications, these challenges can be addressed. Common features of those innovative intelligent learning applications are the adoption of the learning contents to the learners’ needs and an individualized learning support. To achieve this, it is required to analyze and to understand the underlying learning processes in detail. Thus, learning analytics and intelligent learning applications are strongly linked. This minitrack focusses on this overlap by offering the possibility (1) to present innovative, intelligent software artifacts for supporting learning processes and (2) to discuss analyses of digital learning processes based on learning analytics studies.

 

Potential topics of interest for this minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Approaches of improved teaching based on learning analytics

– Innovative learning applications for fostering the students’ learning success

– Analyses of learning paths in intelligent learning applications

– Adoption of learning processes based on learning analytics

– Artificial intelligence technologies for teaching and learning

– Intelligent tutoring systems

– Conversational agents (like chatbots and smart personal assistants) for teaching and learning

– Gamification for improving learner engagement based on learning-related (usage) data

– Learning analytics approaches for investigating teaching and learning processes

– Visualizations of students’ learning progress based on learning analytics

– Dashboards for providing easy access to learning analytics

 

Important Dates:

– January 6, 2020: Begin of manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2020

– February 28, 2020: Paper submission deadline (5:00pm MST).

 

We are looking for your submissions!

 

On behalf of the minitrack chairs,
