2nd Annual ILRN Conference Theme: “The Versatilists”

Immersive Learning is a complex enterprise. Creating effective learning experiences using immersive technologies requires the coordination of multiple types of expertise and effort. People engaged in the production of high quality immersive learning experiences, thus, must be a specialist in one or more disciplines with the ability to appreciate and work effectively from the lens of other specialties. Immersive Learning professionals need to be “versatilists”. As such, this conference is focused on providing opportunities for individuals from a wide variety of areas to share their information across the fields involved with the development, scholarship and business of immersive learning.

Continuing the initiators previous success in workshops and conferences on immersive environments for learning and training purposes, and building on the success of previous iLRN events, this international conference series spans the topic range from innovative research, technologies and tools to successful services and products of immersive environments to foster learning, training and other activities in motivational and engaging ways. The objective is to uncover and discuss emerging trends and technologies, sound research and best practices, successful products and services within an international and interdisciplinary community. This includes but not limits its focus to virtual and augmented worlds, learning

and motivational games, educational simulations, mixed/augmented reality, and related learning and teaching tools, techniques, technologies, and standards.

Topics of interest in the context of immersive environments for the main conference include:

  • Immersive Technologies, Systems and Devices
  • Natural and Built Environments as Immersive Learning Spaces
  • Cognitive and Pedagogical Analysis
  • Learning and Training Applications
  • Non-leisure Games and Gamification
  • A Glance into the Future: Innovations, Challenges and Applications
  • Games and Entertainment
  • Art and Creativity
  • Cultural Heritage

Special Tracks

Special tracks are held in parallel with the main track and are an integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to meet and present their work. Special track papers are required to meet the same standards as papers in the general conference and are published in iLRN’s conference proceedings. This year iLRN 2016 will have Special Tracks on:

  • K-12 and School Tech
  • Self-Regulated Learning in Immersive Environments
  • The Future of Education
  • Cognitive Serious Gaming (CSG)

Introduction

Although motivational and affective aspects are one of the most important factors when it comes to acceptance and success of Technology Enhanced Solutions they are frequently neglected in TEL. This becomes even more important as we move towards more open, independent, and informal learning settings. However, our understanding of these aspects and the implication this understanding would have on concrete solutions for learning is very fragmented: Pedagogical models emphasize the importance of holistic perspectives on learning, but still (implicitly) consider these aspects as peripheral. Psychology has investigated this topic area in depth from a theoretical and experimental point of view, but often there is a gap between generic theories of motivation and emotions, and concrete implications for didactical settings, tool design, and organizational guidance. We also know little, e.g., about reflection on emotions and one’s own motivation.

On the technology side, it is often unclear where and how to consider these aspects in the tool design as it requires a much wider perspective. Here, the affective computing strand has concentrated on tackling emotions, but so far has had little relationship to learning. CSCW research (particularly as part of the social media) had a closer look at the influences on collaboration. The (serious) games approach to learning is mainly a response to the motivational success of gaming, but struggles with how to combine this effect with a didactical approach. In workplace settings, particularly in knowledge management, motivation has been recognized as key success factor to ensure that introduced instruments and tools are getting used. However, many approaches have concentrated only on incentives, both in terms of monetary rewards and other extrinsic motivation schemes which are designed mainly as top-down instruments – with mixed success.

We are convinced that we can meet these challenges only in an interdisciplinary way. Therefore we want to bring together in this workshop the different perspectives on the topic in order to foster the formation of a community between psychology, sociology, pedagogy, human resources, CSCW and computer science. The MATEL workshop has a successful history with its first edition at ECTEL 2010 and continued to provide an engaged forum for the subject area, which helped to form a community around the topic, set up a mailing list with more than 130 interested individuals and a website under http://matel.professional-learning.eu. Recently, we have initiated a pattern development initiative around the subject area as a continuation of the workshop activities at ECTEL 2014.

Topics for Position Statements and Scientific Contributions

Topics encompass the following:

  • Experience reports and lessons learnt from introduction/usage of tools related to learning or knowledge development/engineering (success and failures), e.g.,
    • Knowledge management and workplace learning
    • semantic technologies
    • CSCL
    • CSCW and Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0
    • Serious games
    • MOOCs in educational and workplace learning contexts
  • E-Coaching and other areas of technology-enhanced consultation
  • Pattern-based capturing of design knowledge of soft factors, particularly related to motivation and affective factors, but also in adjacent areas
  • Design methodologies for incorporating motivational and affective factors, e.g.
    • experiences with participatory design, engineering socio-technical systems,
    • experiences with concrete research instruments,
    • indicators for evaluation
  • Approaches, services, or tools to address motivational and affective aspects, e.g.
    • feedback mechanisms,
    • organizational incentives,
    • detecting affective states via sensors,
    • exploiting curiosity,
    • life logging and Quantified Self inspired approaches,
    • learning about emotions (e.g., coping strategies) through reflection and resource activation, gamification and playful design
  • Organizational aspects, such as
    • role of context (social, cultural) on motivation to learn or share knowledge,
    • role of affective aspects for daily work routines
  • Models for understanding motivational and affective aspects/emotions from disciplines like pedagogy, psychology, human resources management and economics, sociology, usability engineering (e.g., joy of use driven approaches), or computer science (e.g., context ontologies for affective and motivational factors)

Topics for Tool Demos and Discussions

We invite developers and researchers of tools and systems in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning to present them under the perspective of motivational and affective aspects, such as:

  • Tools for supporting individual or team reflection and coaching,
  • Quantified Self approaches and use of sensors,
  • Mobile learning support apps, e.g., for e-coaching, e-learning,
  • Personal Learning Environments,
  • Tools for informal learning and knowledge management in organizations,
  • Innovative enterprise social media approaches, Serious games
