2nd Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning (#artel12)
to be held in conjunction with EC-TEL 2012, Saarbrucken (Germany)
Full day workshop: September 18, 2012
Short URL: http:/
Twitter hashtag: #artel12
Introduction
Considering the multitude of views on awareness and reflection distributed over a wide range of disciplines (CSCW, psychology, educational sciences, computer science…) the workshop’s theme is encapsulated in the following question:
“What do awareness and reflection mean in the context of TEL, and how can technologies support either?”
This workshop is a direct follow-up to last year’s ECTEL workshops “ARNETS11 (Awareness and Reflection in Learning Networks)” and “ALECR11 (Augmenting the Learning Experience with Collaborative Reflection)”.
Objectives
The objective of this workshop is i) to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research on awareness and reflection in TEL and ii) to provide an interactive experience that connects participants’ research, the co-organizing projects’ latest proto-types and models with real end users’ learning experiences and needs regarding reflection technology. The target audience of ARTEL2012 are researchers and practitioners in the field of TEL.
Format of the workshop
The workshop format will thus be a mixture of paper and demo presentations, and sessions in which we will work to link theory and existing prototypes (both from the involved projects and from the presented papers and demos) to practical needs in educational and professional settings. This link is expected to be of value to both practitioners (in that research insights become more tangible), and to researchers (in that insights and research pro-totypes become grounded in practice. There will be a overall narrative trajectory throughout the day moving from theory at the beginning of the workshop to pragmatic implementations at the close.
Topics of interest
We are looking for original contributions that address the following aspects:
- Theoretical discussion of awareness and reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning, and related theoretical concepts (e.g., collaborative learning, creativity techniques, experiential learning, etc.)
- Methodologies to study awareness and reflection in the context of (technology-enhanced) learning
- Empirical studies about technology support for awareness and reflection
- Technology (design, application, evaluation) that supports awareness and reflection
- Awareness of social context, knowledge, artefacts and processes
- Awareness and reflection in specific contexts, such as higher education, work-integrated learning, learning networks, etc.
Submission
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work. Demonstrations are encouraged:
- Full papers (max. 15 pages) that describe problems, needs, novel approaches and frameworks within the scope of the workshop. Empirical evaluation papers and industrial experience reports are welcome for submission.
- Short papers (max. 7 pages) that state the position of the authors within the scope of the workshop and describe solution concepts and work in progress.
- Posters and demo papers (2 pages) that summarize preliminary work results.
Please submit your proposal via the ginkgo event management system at http:/
All submitted contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee for originality, significance and quality. The papers will be published in the CEUR-WS.org (http:/

Background of the workshop
The 2nd Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL 2012) builds upon several successful workshops.
- 1st European Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Learning Networks (ARNets11). Workshop homepage: http://teleurope.eu/arnets11. Proceedings: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-790/.
- Augmenting the Learning Experience with Collaboratice Reflection (ALECR11). Workshop homepage: http://www.i-maginary.it/ectel2011/index.html.
- 1st Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Personal Learning Environemnts (ARPLE11). Workshop homepage: http://teleurope.eu/arple11.

Background of the conference
The EC-TEL 2012: Seventh European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning will take place between the 18th and 21st of September 2012 in Saarbrucken, Germany. This year’s motto is 21st Century Learning for 21st Century Skills.
The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) is a unique opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and compliment their core experience.
