Description

In recent years new developments in both hardware and software, such as wireless networking, interactive and wearable displays, sophisticated graphical environments etc., opened vast opportunities for innovative learning environments both for groups and individuals.

In this workshop we want to explore how expressive media together with methods from artificial intelligence can help to enrich the learning environments of today and tomorrow. With this explicitly wide thematical scope the special interest group of GI "Intelligent Teaching and Learning Systems" (Intelligente Lehr-/Lernsysteme) that will be organizing this workshop wants to show the potential of using artificial intelligence for innovative learning scenarios and technologies, because up to now systems based on these new technologies tend to be either technology-driven (e.g. virtual environments that do not support knowledge communication) or focussed on delivery of learning content (e.g. static web-based learning material). Learning approaches still focus too much on static media instead of flexibly integrating expressive media and intelligent tools for learning. Especially for analysing activities, supporting reflection and learning processes, and semantic access to learning material AI methods will be of special interest.

Research and Work-in-progress papers (max. 8 pages) should focus on the following topics:

Interactive Modelling (Simulations, Games, Worlds, Diagnosis)
Intelligent Objects in Content Specific Applications
Knowledge Communication
AI in Group Settings
Intelligent Support in Distributed Learning Scenarios
Analysis and Evaluation of Collaborative Activities
Collaborative Modelling
AI for Learning
Support of Teaching and Learning Processes
Support of Reflection: Visualization and Learning Approaches
Practice of Teaching and Learning Systems
Experiences
Evaluation
System Issues
Technologies for Innovative Learning Scenarios
Architectures (e.g. agent-based) for distributed and web-based Teaching and Learning Systems
Specification of Learning Environments
Metadata and Semantic Indexing of Learning Material
Re-Usability of Learning Material and System Components
Knowledge Markets and Repositories

Target Audience: Users of teaching and learning systems, researchers from artificial intelligence with interest in learning issues and persons from the educational field.

Organization:

Discussion will be supported by expressive tools for visualizing, structuring, and minute-taking of the sessions. Selection of papers will be done in a peer-reviewing process.
