Topics
It is now obvious that the evolution of technologies has largely 
impacted human activities, the ICHSL conference focuses accordingly, and 
for 15 years and through 8 editions, with the human/system learning 
processes. This multidisciplinary approach raises the question of 
Teaching Media related to both “Data and knowledge” processing, 
production and acquisition.
ICHSL.8 is interested in questioning, modeling and describing the 
environments (systems), the technical factors as well as the practices 
that take part during training and learning activities. By taking into 
account that intelligence is shared between the learners and the 
teaching devices, it is thus possible to consider that both human and 
learning media can be considered as “learner”.
Learning Media could afford, within a social organization, the 
management and identification of cognitive skills, in the sense where 
multiple informational phenomena with their context, expressiveness and 
purposes have to be taken into account.
According to various theoretical approaches and analysis of e-learning 
and remote training systems, ICHSL.8 is keen to study role and impact of 
augmented/mixed reality environments into those “complex systems of 
training. The “augmented reality” 1 concept appears to be closer to a 
“physical” world than a virtual one as it is conditioned by users’ 
physical actions, actions that translate an effect, a modification or a 
contribution to the underlying communication system of augmented 
learning. An augmented learning system is seen here as a mediator 
combining mutualy physical (traditional) and virtual (digital) 
information within a learning session (for teachers and learners).
Interpretation, in a situation of augmented learning, is obviously 
sensitive to traditional perceptive input/output modalities (the five 
senses), but also to the complex contributions produced by the 
association of people, speech, and forms. Moreover, augmented learning 
systems must contribute to the interpretive process by adding items that 
have
been scanned or digitalized (sensory data, spatial, semantic, cultural, 
historical, legislative, etc.).
ICHSL.8 is intended to focus on (and not limited to) the following topics:
- New learning spaces: augmented classroom
- Spatio-temporality of learning and the “augmented” training: roles and 
impacts of ICT on the perception of time
- Human-technology interferences during knowledge acquisition process
- Embodiment of information, knowledge and know-how: “body discourses” 
in augmented interactions
- Cognitive and Corporal Personalization of learning processes
