CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

April 15: final version of accepted submissions.
Workshop Summary:
Currently, Web-based educational systems form one of the fastest
growing areas in educational technology research and development.
Benefits of Web-based education are independence of teaching and
learning with respect to time and space. Courseware installed and
maintained in one place may be used by a huge number of users all over
the world. A challenging research goal is the development of adaptive
and intelligent Web-based educational systems (W-AIES) that offer some
amount of adaptivity and intelligence.
Adaptivity with respect to navigation support and presentation
helps students to locate and comprehend relevant course material. Intelligent
problem solving support and error explanation facilities support their
work with assignments. Adaptive collaboration support tools find
most relevant helper or collaborator. These are just a few examples
implemented in a number of research systems that show how a learner
may benefit from adaptive and intelligent technologies. While most
commercial courseware systems do not employ
intelligent or adaptive technologies, a number of existing research
systems have already formed a critical mass for a creative discussion
on Web-based adaptive and intelligent educational systems.
The goal of the proposed workshop is to provide a forum for this
discussion and thus to contiune the series of workshops on this topic
held at past conferences, e.g. AIED'97
(http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~plb/AIED97_workshop/) and ITS'98
(http://www-aml.cs.umass.edu/~stern/webits/itsworkshop/) workshops.
Topics of interest for the workshop include adaptive curriculum
sequencing in Web-based educational systems, intelligent problem
solving support via the Web, adaptive presentation and navigation
support for Web-based education, adaptive collaboration support via
the Web, Web-based adaptive testing, porting existing intelligent
tutoring systems to the Web, intelligent monitoring of Web-based
classes and courses, log mining to improve the performance of
Web-based educational systems, authoring tools for developing adaptive
and intelligent educational systems on the Web, empirical studies of
Web-based adaptive and intelligent educational systems.
Submissions:
Papers to the workshop should discuss solutions, present work
in progress or experiences with W-AIES in Web-based
education. Papers should be no longer than 10 pages including
all tables, figures, and references but excluding a cover page. Each
submission must include 1 cover page which should describe:
- Title of the paper with an abstract of no more than 500 words;
- A few keywords giving a clear indication of topic and subtopic;
- Author names with affiliations, addresses, and phone numbers;
- Email address of the principal author.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the
workshop.
The deadlines are:
March 8: submission of proposed papers,
March 24: paper acceptance notification,
April 15: final version of accepted submissions.
Participants are requested to prepare presentations in a
computer-based format. Send submissions (Word Doc, PDF, Postscript,
HTML) to cpeylo@cl-ki.uni-osnabrueck.de or by post to: Christoph
Peylo, Institut für semantische Informationsverarbeitung, Universität
Osnabrück, 49069 Osnabrück.
