CALL FOR PAPERS:
ACM Symposium On Applied Computing Track on Intelligent, Interactive and Innovative Learning environments Salamanca, Spain - April 13 to 17, 2015. http://nees.com.br/ile/2015/ ------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------ September 12, 2014: Submission of regular papers November 17, 2014: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection December 8, 2014: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers December 15, 2014: Author registration due date Technology-enhanced learning is an interdisciplinary field that integrates researchers with different backgrounds (Computer Science, Engineering, Education, Psychology, instructional design and others) but has one common goal: to support new learning experiences where students can work mediated bytechnology and learn more effectively through exploration of the content and discussion with teachers and colleagues. The support of robust learning is a complex issue due to many factors (e.g., psychological, technological, personal, instructional, etc.) that affect learning processes and hence, the learning outcome. To tackle this problem, researchers in the field have always been innovative. Through the analysis of different learning settings, researchers have found ways to integrate major advances in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Data Mining, Human-Computer Interaction and other sub-areas of Computer Science with smart devices to leverage the development of intelligent and interactive learning environments. For teachers, an intelligent/interactive learning environment offers better ways to create/reuse/share content, new methodologies and instruments to deploy effective learning activities and accurate tools to analyze students’ progress throughout the learning process. For students, it allows for the presenting the content in an intelligent and adaptive fashion, which enables the restructuring of learning content according to students’ needs and stimulates the occurrence of deep and long-term understanding. However, to accomplish the development of intelligent/interactive learning environments that meet the needs of the next generation of students and teachers, we need to re-think the state-of-the-art in computer science and other related areas, and push the research trends toward the creation of technologically sophisticated systems/methods capable of enhancing/improving learning. This problem has become more evident with the emergence of Web technologies that allow people to work and learn collaboratively. How to make an effective use of serious games, mobile devices, multimedia content and tools, MOOCs, blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networking sites and other Web 2.0 technologies to create more engaging, interesting and fruitful learning is still an open question. To use these technologies adequately and create pedagogically sound learning activities it is necessary to create more intelligent and innovative ways to support both teachers and learners. Therefore, the aim of the ACM SAC Track on Intelligent, Interactive and Innovative Learning environments is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and schools to think together and share their visions of the next generation of educational technologies that will meet students’ needs in the 21st century. The ACM SAC will be held on Salamanca, Spain from April 13 to 17, 2015. ---------------------------- Topics of Interest -------------------------- We are particularly interested in technological advances in the field of computer science, engineering and related fields that can be applied to leverage current learning systems in architectural, technological and philosophical levels. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and frameworks for intelligent learning environments - Tools and languages to support learning design - Educational Data mining - Intelligent authoring/tutoring systems - Agents and Multiagents - (Social) Semantic Web technologies and linked data for education - Use of tags, blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 technologies to support learning - Innovative ways to analyze students’ learning - New approaches for group/individual assessment - Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning - User modeling, adaptation and personalization - Mobile and ubiquitous computing for learning - Intelligent/interactive learning environments applied to specific domains - Culturally-aware systems - MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) - Serious games, gamification and games with a purpose - Learning technologies for underserved people - Assistive Technology for Learning - AI, IHC and other computing related areas applied to Education ------------------- Submission ------------------- Authors should follow the ACM format athttp://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/. Submissions should not exceed six (6) double-column pages (with the option, at additional expense of USD 80 per page, to add two more pages). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC proceedings and widely available through the ACM Digital Library. Submit your paper electronically in PDF via the START Conference Manager at https://www.softconf.com/f/sac2015/ Paper registration is required for allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending ACM SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for all accepted papers and posters to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library.
