Introduction
As a follow-up to a successful workshop on the same theme at ECTEL09, we are organizing a workshop on Research2.0 approaches to TEL research at ECTEL10.
Research2.0 is in essence a Web2.0 approach to how we do research. Research2.0 creates conversations between researchers, enables them to discuss their findings and connects them with others. Thus, Research2.0 can accelerate the diffusion of knowledge.

Challenges
As concluded during the workshop, at least four challenges are vital for future research.
The first area is concerned with availability of data. Access to sanitized data and conventions on how to describe publication-related metadata provided from divergent sources are enablers for researchers to develop new views on their publications and their research area. Additional, social media data gain more and more attention. Reaching a widespread agreement about this for the field of technology-enhanced learning would be already a major step, but it is also important to focus on the next steps: what are success-critical added values driving uptake in the research community as a whole?
The second area of challenges is seen in Research 2.0 practices. As technology-enhanced learning is a multidisciplinary field, practices developed in one area could be valuable for others. To extract the essence of successful multidisciplinary Research 2.0 practice though, multidimensional and longitudinal empirical work is needed. It is also an open question, if we should support practice by fostering the usage of existing tools or the development of new tools, which follow Research 2.0 principles. What makes a practice sustainable? What are the driving factors?
The third challenge deals with impact. What are criteria of impact for research results (and other research artefacts) published on the Web? How can this be related to the publishing world appearing in print? Is a link equal to a citation or a download equal to a subscription? Can we develop a Research 2.0 specific position on impact measurement? This includes questions of authority, quality and re-evaluation of quality, and trust.
The tension between openness and privacy spans the fourth challenge. The functionality of mash-ups often relies on the use of third-party services. What happens with the data, if this source is no longer available? What about hidden exchange of data among backend services?
Topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Evaluation of existing Research2.0 tools and infrastructures from a TEL perspective
- Development of TEL-related use case scenarios for Research2.0 tools and infrastructures
- Influence of Research2.0 tools and technologies on scientific practices in TEL
- Formats and protocols for Research2.0 data exchange (linked data, RSS, BuRST, …)
- Ownership and privacy of research information
- Practices of the diverse Technology Enhanced Learning disciplines, and how Research2.0 can influence them

Format of the presentation
The presentation should not be longer than 15 minutes. Each presentation follows 10 minutes of discussion. This gives every slot 25 minutes.
Format of the paper
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work. The following types of contributions are possible:
- Short papers (3-5 pages) that state the position of the authors on issues relevant to the workshop or work in progress, even when in very early state.
- Full papers: (8-12 pages) that describe problems, needs, novel approaches and frameworks within the scope of the workshop. In this category, empirical evaluation papers and industrial experience reports are welcome for submission.
The presentation of unfinished ideas, tools under development and especially failures is explicitly encouraged. This includes the presentation and discussion of tools and their real-world usability.
The aim of this group is to:
- facilitate discussions among participants before and after the conference;
- post submitted papers for an open peer review;
- publish information and news about the workshop;
- collect reactions through social media on the workshop.
First steps:
