ICHSL.6 – Workshop

CALL FOR PAPERS

Many papers about standards and users centered design have been published recently in the field of Computer Supported Learning Environments. Even if they investigate different concerns, these two areas of research on learning have strong interactions. This workshop will focus on how these two dimensions are supported in real situations, and what benefits they provide.

Workshop #1 (9h30 – 12h30 am): Standards

Currently hundreds of academic or commercial pedagogical environments integrate ubiquitous e-learning standards. This workshop will consider their usage and deployment within public and private institutions in order to point out advantages and difficulties they imply for users: administrators, teachers, designers, and learners. Reports on experimentations and tools supporting standards will bring indicators to enhance their practices (from integration to exploitation) and to bridge the gap between expected benefits and observed results.

Workshop #2 (2h00 – 5h00 pm): Users

The aim of this workshop is to consider the different dimensions of users’ integration in the design process of Computer Supported Learning Environments: the users’ knowledge (expertise, skills, metacognition, etc.), their profiles (age, occupation, etc.) and their tasks (collaboration, problem solving, information seeking, etc.). In this workshop, we will try to answer different questions: What are the relevant dimensions? What methods can be used to extract data from users’ behaviors? How these data can be integrated in the design process (Can they be implemented as constraints? As resources? What are the relations between them?).
