CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International Workshop on
Intelligent and Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems (IAWES 2007)
http://wit.tuwien.ac.at/iawes2007
November 3 or 4, 2007
Hiroshima, Japan
(in conjunction with International Conference on Computers in Education -
ICCE 2007)

MOTIVATION
==========
Providing learners with an environment that reacts intelligently to the
users' needs and incorporates their individual characteristics for
presenting suitable information and learning material, helps to support
learners and makes learning easier for them. Such systems can incorporate,
for example, the prior knowledge, preferences, learning goals, learning
styles, and cognitive abilities of learners.
Web-based educational systems based on learning management systems (LMS)
such as WebCT, Blackboard, and Moodle are commonly and successfully used in
distance learning. They provide a variety of features to support teachers
and course developers to create and manage their online courses. However, at
current stage, such environments provide very little, or in most cases,
neither intelligent support nor adaptivity at all.
This workshop focuses on how intelligent support and adaptive features can
be integrated in currently used systems as well as on how intelligent and
adaptive Web-based educational systems can be improved in order to provide a
better learning environment for learners.
The need arise for smart learning environments that offer personal services
in the whole cycle of education, from counselling, to academic advising, to
program planning, to collaborative learning, to tutoring, and to testing.
Learning management systems and university portals need the incorporation of
intelligence, adaptivity, and agent-based capabilities to offer dynamic,
intelligent and adaptive educational systems.
The workshop deals with current research about providing intelligent support
and adaptive features in the whole cycle of education in order to support
the learners and educators, to increase learning opportunities and improve
the efficiency and quality of service. The workshop will provide a forum for
discussing how to introduce and incorporate intelligence and adaptivity into
Web-based educational systems and university portals for teaching, learning,
and educational administration.
