[on behalf of Roberto Martinez-Maldonado] Apologies for any cross-posting 4th Workshop on Intelligent Support for Learning in Groups at the 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2015) June 22-26, 2015 Madrid, Spain https://sites.google.com/site/aied2015islg/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are pleased to announce that the Fourth International Workshop on Intelligent Support for Learning in Groups (ISLG) will be held as a part of the 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2015) in Madrid, Spain. The goal of this series of workshops is to bring together Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) researchers with learning sciences and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) researchers to share approaches and exchange information about adaptive intelligent collaborative learning support. It is of high relevance to the AIED community to explore how AI techniques can be brought to bear to support collaborative learning. We aim to explore ways that the current state of the art in intelligent support for learning in groups can be informed by learning sciences research on collaborative learning principles. We welcome papers under two categories: >>>Short papers (4-6 pages). Short papers consist of authors describing their research in the area of intelligent support for learning in groups. Authors of successful submissions will give a brief firehose presentation and present a poster at the poster session during the workshop. >>>Panel papers (2-4 pages). Panel papers explain a unique perspective on the field that the author would like to contribute. Authors of successful submissions will participate in one of panels held during the workshop. Participation Requirements: All workshop participants are encouraged to submit at least one paper under any of these two categories. There is no restriction on the number of papers submitted by the same author. The submission of a paper is not compulsory. Formatting: All submissions should be formatted as per ITS formatting guidelines (LNCS template). Please use the formatting instructions and templates provide at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=3D0-164-7-72376-0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Important Dates* *March 27, 2015 Short Paper and Panel Submissions Due* April 20, 2015 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection May 20, 2015 Camera Ready Papers Due June 22 or June 26 Pre-Conference Workshop held in Madrid, Spain -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Organizers* >>>Jihie Kim KT and Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California, jihie@xxxxxxx >>>Roberto Martinez-Maldonado Faculty of Education and Social Work, The University of Sydney, roberto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>>Ilya Goldin Center for Digital Data, Analytics, and Adaptive Learning, Pearson, ilya.goldin@xxxxxxxxxxx >>>Erin Walker School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering, Arizona State University, erin.a.walker@xxxxxxx >>>Rohit Kumar Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA , rkumar@xxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For up to date information about the workshop, visit https://sites.google.com/site/aied2015islg Roberto Martinez-Maldonado, PhD Centre for Research on Computer-Supported Learning and Cognition The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia
