CfP: ARTEL14 @ ECTEL: 4th Workshop on Awareness and
Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning
*** Call for papers and demos ***
4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection
in Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL 2014)
to be held in the context of EC-TEL 2014, Graz
(Austria):
September 16 (Tuesday), 2014.
Twitter hashtag: #artel14
*Rationale*
Enhancing "awareness" of learners and other
participants involved in learning processes by technology
means augmenting formal or informal learning experiences,
typically in real-time, with information on progress,
presence, outcomes, workspace, and the like.
Supporting "reflection" means enabling learners to
capture, adapt, re-evaluate, and share experience in
anticipation of future situations it will prove relevant
to. Reflection supported digitally is a creative act,
adding sense and meaning to experiences made.
Combining support for "awareness and reflection" bears
huge potential for improving the learning and training
with respect to utility, self-regulation, usability, and
user experience.
This 4th ARTEL workshop brings together researchers and
industry from different backgrounds to discuss and advance
support of awareness and reflection for learning. This
year’s workshop will run under the headline ‘application
in practice’, additionally emphasising feasibility and
sustainability aspects in education and in the workplace.
The workshop seeks to attract both research results and
work in progress in order to chart out the current
state-of-the-art and to define main enablers and future
challenges. Naturally, it will serve as a forum for
establishing new collaborations.
The workshop will therefore include both presentations
and discussions of research insights (papers), as well as
a demo and prototype slam. Using presentations as catalyst
for continuing post-talk debate, the workshop will
conclude the day with an open discussion exchanging ideas,
summing up, and defining a medium to long-term research
agenda.
The main findings and highlights of the workshop will
be presented back to the full EC-TEL plenary in the wrap
up session (see main programme, once available).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
contributing original theories, methods, evaluation
studies, design and application (case) studies in and on:
- Reflective writing and knowledge maturing
- Analytics, text- and data mining
- Integration of reflection support into other
approaches of learning
- Social and group virtual and super-real presence
- Scaffolding approaches and techniques
- Real-time awareness and reflection
- Personalisation and Social Technologies
- Awareness and reflection in inquiry-based learning
- Augmented reality, wearable, pervasive applications
- Collaborative reflection
- Social network analysis
- Visual analytics, dashboards
- Models, ontologies, and annotation
- Processes and workflows
*Submission*
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
work as either a full paper (limit: 15 pages), research
note (limit: 7 pages), or demo (limit: 3 pages). Full
papers thereby report on novel theoretical, empirical, or
development work, including a significant contribution to
the field. Research notes report work in progress to share
early insights with the community. Demos describe novel
prototypes, design studies, or tools, which can be shown
and further discussed during the workshop.
ARTEL14 will award the best paper and demo submitted.
Please submit your paper via EasyChair:

The workshop will take place as part of the 9th
European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
(EC-TEL), will take place in Graz, Austria, September
16-19, 2014. The motto for this year is "Open Learning and
Teaching in Educational Communities". 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 complement their core expertise.
