First Special Track on
Computer-based Knowledge & Skill Assessment and Feedback in Learning Settings (CAF)

Due to some requests of potential authors we have decided to extend the deadline for paper submissions to July 3rd, 2009.

This CfP is also available as PDF.
This special track will take place during ICL 2008 in Villach, Austria (23-25 September 2009) as a special program item.
The Special Track CAF 2009 provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of computer-based knowledge & skill assessment in learning settings and based on that feedback provision for students and teachers.

The International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL) is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning.

1st Workshop on Web2.0 approaches, tools and technologies to support research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TELSci2.0)
at the 4th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL09), Nice, France, September 29 - October 2, 2009

SCOPE
In Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), the use of web2.0 technologies is now actively being researched, under banners such as “Personal Learning Environments” or “Open Learning Environments” and the like. In this workshop, we want to discuss how we can leverage the same opportunities
for our research on TEL.

Indeed, as researchers in Technology Enhanced Learning we already know how to include things like blogs, wikis and forums into the heart of our work to enhance collaborative working, but a full “Science 2.0″
framework might provide us with a much more powerful framework to make our research more effective.

This years JTEL Summer School was held in Terchova, Slovakia between the 31st if May to 6th of June 2009 and hosted exactely 100 PhD students and tutors. During one week the students were able to get insights into different topics of TEL, with the specific focus on ‘The Emancipated Learner’. The project ROLE supported the summer school due to the fact that this event is highly successful for the networking as well as the fostering of young researchers in the area of TEL.

The mixed programme covered an overview of pedagogical as well as technolgoical aspects during morning lecutures and workshops in the afternoon. Most important for the summer school was to foster the collaboration and networking between the students as well as tutors. This networking has been fostered during excursions and organized trips, (volunteered) late night sessions and cluster activities as well as leisure activities in the hotel.

The event, which has been organized the 5th time this year, was supported by 18 different projects and companies. ROLE supported the summer school by integration into the programme commitee, the organization as well as presentation of ROLE topics and issues. All presentations are collected at the Summer School website while the pictures of the summer school can be found under Flickr.

The 2nd workshop on Mash-Up Personal Learning Environments (MUPPLE’09) is seeking contributors. After the overwhelming success of last year (see proceedings), this year’s mupple workshop promises to a lot of fun again. See here the call for papers.
