MOTIVATION
===========
The workshop follows the previous SPeL 2008, SPeL 2009, SPeL 2010,
SPeL
2011, DULP & SPeL 2012, SPeL 2013, SPeL 2014, SPeL 2015, SPeL
2016, SPeL
2017, SPeL 2018 and SPeL 2019 workshops, held in conjunction with
the
SAINT 2008 conference, WI/IAT 2009 conference, DEXA 2010
conference, ICWL
2011 conference, ICALT 2012 conference, ICSTCC 2013 conference,
ICWL 2014
conference, ICSLE 2015 conference, ICWL & SETE 2016
conferences, ICWL &
SETE 2017 conferences, MIS4TEL 2018 conference and ICWL & SETE
2019
conferences respectively. The general topic of the workshop is the
social
and personal computing for web-supported learning communities.
Web-based learning is moving from centralized, institution-based
systems
to a decentralized and informal creation and sharing of knowledge.
Social
software (e.g., blogs, wikis, social bookmarking systems, media
sharing
services) is increasingly being used for e-learning purposes,
helping to
create novel learning experiences and knowledge. In the world of
pervasive
Internet, learners are also evolving: the so-called "digital
natives" want
to be in constant communication with their peers, they expect an
individualized instruction and a personalized learning
environment, which
automatically adapt to their individual needs. The challenge in
this
context is to provide intelligent and adaptive support for
collaborative
learning, taking into consideration the individual differences
between
learners.
This workshop deals with current research on the interplay between
collaboration and personalization issues for supporting
intelligent
learning environments. Its aim is to provide a forum for
discussing new
trends and initiatives in this area, including research about the
planning, development, application, and evaluation of intelligent
learning
environments, where people can learn together in a personalized
way
through social interaction with other learners.
The workshop is targeted at academic researchers, developers,
educationists and practitioners interested in innovative uses of
social
media and adaptation techniques for the advancement of intelligent
learning environments. The proposed field is interdisciplinary and
very
dynamic, taking into account the recent advent of Web 2.0 and
ubiquitous
personalization, and it is hoped to attract a large audience.
