Call for Papers – Workshop at ICCE 2017 on understanding the 'smart' in smart learning
The use of smart to characterize new learning methods and technologies has gained traction over the last few years, especially in the Asian educational community. We have seen the establishment of new journals and new research agendas. There is, however, a tendency to include any new characteristics of technology innovation into the definition of smart learning, and this does not provide a sound basis for R&D. Thus, the concept of ‘smart education’ remains fuzzy and poorly defined. This workshop is therefore organised to provide an opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of this emerging field.
We call for papers that cover technical, theoretical, pedagogical, as well as organisational issues of smart learning, smart education and smart learning environments. Through this workshop we aim to work with participants to question and explore current positions from different perspectives.
Key focus questions include:
- What does it mean to be data literate?
- How can technology be used to make us smarter?
- How can school education respond to the demands of the ‘new smarts’?
- Was it smart for us to surrender our privacy in the development of the Web?
- What are the smart algorithms that sustain giant IT corporations?
We welcome submissions from the following (though not restrictive) list:
- Systematic reviews of conceptualizations of smart learning
- Pedagogical and educational psychology perspectives of smart learning theories
- Models of smart learning environments
- Smart learning in the smart city
- 21st century skills – are they smart enough?
- Data analytics in teaching and learning
- Intelligent Technology & Artificial Intelligence
Paper Submission
Before uploading your papers to the system, please ensure that you have followed the following instructions:
Ensure that you have adhered to the page limits for full paper (8-10 pages) or short paper (5-6 pages). Ensure that you have followed the formatting instructions in the paper template file.
The conference will have a single-blind review, i.e. the authors of the submitting papers will not know who their referees are, while the referees will be aware of the authors of the papers that they are reviewing. Therefore, anonymization is not required in the submitted manuscripts.
Please submit your paper here
