Registration: March 23, 2013
Workshop and CISIS main Conference: July 3 - 5, 2013
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Despite a great potential and some initial successes, e-learning systems do
not yet have the impact that many believe is possible. Moreover, the gap
seems to be increasing because of the greater expectations of the current
generation (Digital Natives) who have grown up with modern technology. There
are also more general problems. In particular, an over-emphasis on cost
effectiveness has meant that content is often not as strong as it needs to
be and this deficiency has contributed to a lack of user engagement and some
high attrition rates. Studies have consistently highlighted the important
relationship between engagement and learning, with students who are highly
motivated being more likely to engage in the learning process.
The Second International Workshop ALICE 2012 aims at providing a forum for
innovative adaptive e-learning combining personalization, collaboration,
simulation and storytelling aspects within an affective/emotional based
approach able to contribute to the overcoming of the quoted limitations of
current e-learning systems and content. Special emphasis is given to
environments that are interactive, challenging and context aware while
enabling learners' demand of empowerment, social identity, and authentic
learning experience.
The expected contributions should be able to effectively involve learners in
educational, cultural and informative activities. Empirical results from
real users in real learning and training settings will be very valuable in
order to evaluate and discuss the impact of the proposed innovative
features. Academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited
to exchange their experiences and ideas about problems and solutions related
to the design, development and use of advanced and innovative, knowledge
based learning systems and applications. Researchers can report their ideas,
models, designs and experiences on the proposed topics.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The main topics of interest within the scope of advances and innovative
e-Learning systems include, but are not limited to:
- Affective and Emotional Approaches
- Live and Virtualized Collaboration
- Simulation and Serious Games
- New Forms of Assessment
- Storytelling
- Adaptive and Knowledge-based Technologies
