*On behalf of the Multimodal Learning and Analytics Grand Challenge
organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in either
or both grand challenge categories: 1) Multimodal Capture of Learning
Environments and 2) Multimodal Learning Applications.The grand challenge
will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA in association with the
International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) on November 9,
2015.- Joseph Grafsgaard (with co-chairs Katherine Chiluiza, Xavier Ochoa,

Learning and Analytics Grand Challenge 2015 @ the International Conference
on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI)
<http://www.sigmla.org/mla2015/>Multimodality is an integral part of
teaching and learning. Over the past few decades researchers have been
designing, creating and analyzing novel environments that enable students
to experience and demonstrate learning through a variety of modalities. The
recent availability of low cost multimodal sensors, advances in artificial
intelligence and improved techniques for large scale data analysis have
enabled researchers and practitioners to push the boundaries on multimodal
learning and multimodal learning analytics. In an effort to continue these
developments, the 2015 Multimodal Learning and Analytics Grand Challenge
will include a combined focus on the development of rich, multimodal
learning environments, as well as techniques for analyzing multimodal
learning data. In line with this objective, submissions are sought in two
categories (1) Multimodal Capture of Learning Environments and (2)
Multimodal Learning Applications. Participants are invited to submit to one
or both categories. Guidelines and details can be found at
