5th Workshop on Culturally Aware Learning Analytics (CARLA)

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/carla-workshop/home

Date: Sep 4th Morning (9:00h – 13:00h)

List of organizers:

  • Olga Viberg, KTH Stockholm, Sweden
  • Ioana Jivet, Goethe University Frankfurt and DIPF, Germany
  • Maren Scheffel, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany

Short description:

Learning analytics (LA) have been implemented in various countries, often at a limited scale. We have also seen that LA have been used in different ways in different countries. This makes the transfer of LA solutions from one country to another challenging, due to varying contextual, technical, and cultural factors. In this workshop, we aim to identify and discuss possible cultural differences and also similarities–the factors that have so far not been extensively studied by LA researchers–for the wider adoption of LA at scale.

Multimodal Immersive Learning Systems (MILeS) 2023: Third International Workshop

Website: https://milki-psy.de/miles-workshop-2023/

List of organizers:

  • Khaleel Asyraaf Mat Sanusi
  • Bibeg Hang Limbu
  • Miloš Kravčík
  • Jan Schneider

Short description:

The MILeS 2023 workshop aims to develop AI-supported, data-intensive, multimodal, immersive learning environments for the independent learning of psychomotor skills. This leads to a cross-domain approach that makes it possible to record the activities of experts in a multimodal manner and to use these recordings as blueprints for learners. With the help of AI-based analysis, learning progress is to be supported by automated error detection and automatically generated, individual feedback. This creates holistic, innovative environments for cultivating psychomotor skills, in which personalised AI support enables individual learning processes based on complex data analysis.

Teaching TEL: Curriculum development and exchange structure for European TEL teaching

Website: Teaching TEL

Date: Sep 5th Morning (9:00h – 13:00h)

List of organizers:

Short description:

The workshop is intended to continue the establishment of a network of TEL teaching initiatives in Europe and the UK. While the SIG CUPTEL has already provided a good basis for discussion, more representatives of TEL teaching activities are required to reach a critical number of people and to represent the diversity of initiatives. In the workshop, joint challenges and opportunities of TEL teaching formats will be identified. Initial concepts for exchange structures for students and staff will be drafted and the potential for joint (comparative) research will be discussed. As a result, the workshop will develop an initial framework for mobility opportunities for students and staff and a whitepaper on TEL teaching will be written.

Value-sensitive design methods for technology-enhanced learning (VSD4TEL)

Date: Sep 5th Morning (9:00h – 13:00h)

List of organizers:

  • Luis P. Prieto, Universidad de Valladolid (Spain), luispablo.prieto@uva.es
  • María Jesús Rodríguez-Triana, Tallinn University (Estonia), mjrt@tlu.ee
  • Yannis Dimitriadis, Universidad de Valladolid (Spain), yannis@tel.uva.es

Short description:

Value-sensitive design (VSD) has been proposed as an approach to design technologies that better align with human goals and to enable better transfer of innovations across cultures. Yet, the application of these methods to improve the design of learning technologies is still in its infancy. This workshop has a dual purpose of popularizing VSD methods, taken from other fields, for TEL researchers. It will also enable the sharing and development of novel VSD methods specifically tailored to design technology-enhanced learning experiences taking learning-relevant human values into account.

Short description:

Applications of robotics and robots are taking already an increasingly prominent place in our daily lives. Both in how we communicate, in health-care and education, more and more tasks are being taken over by robots. While the pedagogical potential of robotics has been explored extensively in fields such as computer programming, mathematics and engineering design, the use of social robots, telepresence robots and educational robotics is a more recent approach. In this hands-on workshop, we want to provide participants the opportunity to experience the possibilities for the implementation of robots and robotics in the field of technology-enhanced learning.
