ECTEL 2011 Workshop

We are involved in organising the TEL think tank workshop at ECTEL 2011, September 20th

"The workshop will discuss current and future research perspectives and identify key challenges, and hopes for Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). We will constitute a think-tank on TEL bringing together both TEL researchers and stakeholders in TEL research. We will draw on the experiences of three EU funded Networks in Technology-Enhanced Learning (i.e. NoE Stellar, NoE Gala, and CSA TELMap), and the UK’s Teaching and Learning Research Programme (UK TLRP TEL). The workshop will bring together a number of stakeholders (i.e. policy makers, educationalists, industry, etcetera) who will contribute to the discussion and clarify requirements and expectations for TEL research from various perspectives."

Update - AIED Panel & ECTEL2011 Workshop

Unfortunately we had to cancel the planned workshop...

However, there will be a panel at AIED2011 discussing closely related issues, see 10 Years On – AIED is in mainstream education, or is it? and we are involved in finalising plans for a related workshop at ECTEL2011.

We will publish news relating to these and future events here. In the meantime, if you are interested in discussing whether advanced and AI technologies for enhancing education are already mainstream  and if not what more or different needs to be done to achieve greater adoption why not visit the AIED Linked in discussion or comment on the TLRP report - What is AIED and why does Education need it?

Call for participation - Extended deadline 9th April

Beyond Cross Fertilization: How to support Re-use, Integration, Synthesis & Uptake of AIED?
A workshop at AIED 2011

AIMS
1) to improve support for re-use, integration and synthesis of research and tools from across the increasingly wide range of disciplines that make up the AIED community.
2) to better support communication and uptake of AIED research beyond the AIED community, particularly within mainstream education.


OBJECTIVES
• to share knowledge of existing tools and practices and the ways these are being used to support reuse, integration and uptake of AIED research.
• to move towards envisioning and defining requirements for new and improved tools and approaches to support reuse and uptake.
• to build a network of AIED researchers interested in taking these resources forward.


PARTICIPATION
To participate in the workshop please submit a 3-8 page paper addressing one of the key issues of how to improve support for re-use, integration and uptake of AIED research. Demonstrations of approaches, systems and other tools are particularly encouraged.
