----- 2nd Call for papers and demos -----
3rd Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in
Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL13)
to be held in conjunction with EC-TEL 2013, Paphos
(Cyprus). September 17, 2013.
Submission deadline: 30.06.2013
Twitter hashtag: #artel13
----- Introduction -----
Awareness and Reflection are important aspects of
Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) and have to be
adequately supported to enable learners to tap the
potential of learning tools. The concepts awareness and
reflection are viewed differently across the disciplines
informing TEL (CSCW, CSCL, psychology, educational
sciences, computer science, ...). ARTEL13 aims to push
forward the discussion and research on these concepts in
TEL. This year's theme for ARTEL 2013 is:
"How can awareness and reflection support learning in
different settings (work, education, continuing
professional development, lifelong learning, etc.). What
are the roles that technology can play to support
awareness and reflection in these contexts?"
This workshop is a direct follow-up of last year's
EC-TEL workshop ARTEL12, and the previous workshops
ARNETS11 (Awareness and Reflection in Learning Networks)
and ALECR11 (Augmenting the Learning Experience with
Collaborative Reflection).
----- Objectives -----
The objectives of this workshop are
1. to provide a forum for presenting and discussing
research on awareness and reflection in TEL
2. to create an interactive experience that connects
participants' research, current tools or latest prototypes
and models with real end users' learning experiences and
requirements regarding reflection technology
3. to create an agenda for future ARTEL research and
development.
----- Topics of interest -----
We invite contributions that address the following
aspects:
- Theoretical discussion of awareness and reflection in
TEL and related concepts (e.g. collaborative learning,
creativity techniques, experiential learning)
- Methodologies to identify, study and analyse
awareness and reflection in the context of
(technology-enhanced) learning
- Empirical studies about technology support for
awareness and reflection
- Technology (design, application, evaluation)
supporting awareness and reflection
- Designing awareness and reflection in TEL
applications and processes
- Using awareness and reflection support to enhance the
learning experience
- Awareness of social context, knowledge, artefacts and
processes
- Awareness and reflection in specific contexts, such
as higher education, work-integrated learning, learning
networks, etc.
----- Submission -----
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
work. The organisers particularly encourage the submission
of work-in-progress, cutting-edge prototypes. The
following types of contributions are welcome:
- 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.
- Demo papers (max. 2 pages) describing the motivation
of the concept, the system and technology, and scenarios
of application. During the workshop will be a dedicated
slot were you can present and discuss your system.
Additionally, you can submit a video of your system.
Videos will be featured on TELeurope.eu.
Please submit your proposal via the ginkgo event
management system at
http://ginkgo.cs.upb.de/events/artel13. All submitted
contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least two
members of the program committee for originality,
significance and quality.

Milos Kravcik, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Birgit Krogstie, Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, Norway
Adam Moore, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Viktoria Pammer, Knowledge Technologies Institute, TU

----- Format of the workshop -----
The workshop will have a mixture of paper
presentations, a demo session and interactive group work.
We aim 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 will be of value to both practitioners
(in that research insights become more tangible) and
researchers (in that insights and research prototypes
become grounded in practice).
We will use various media to encourage comments,
questions and identification of hot topics during the
workshop. Highlights from the presented papers and tools
will be brought together in light of the workshop agenda
in a final summary session, and the result will be
presented during ECTEL 2013 both in the workshop summary
and in the prototype sessions.
The tentative programme is as follows:
- Morning session 1: Paper presentations
- Morning session 2: Interactive demo session
- Afternoon session 1: Paper presentations
- Afternoon session 2: Interactive, small group work
and plenum
----- Supporting projects -----
ARTEL13 pulls together research on awareness and
reflection in technology-enhanced learning across
disciplines (psychology, educational science, computer
science) and across European TEL projects:
----- Networking and updates -----
To stay updated about the event and with the activity

----- Background of the workshop -----
The 3rd Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in
Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL13) is the third
workshop in a successful series of EC-TEL workshops.
----- Background of the EC-TEL conference -----
The EC-TEL 2013: Eight European Conference on
Technology Enhanced Learning, will take place in Paphos,
Cyprus, 17-21 September 2013. The motto for this year is
"Scaling up learning for sustained impact". 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.
