the TENCompetence call for papers:
Call for Papers – Extended Deadline – 29th February
Location: Madrid, Espana
Venue: Hotel Santo Domingo,
Madrid
Start: April 10, 2008, 09:00 hrs
End: April 11, 2008, 17:00 hrs
This workshop is organised by the EU 6th Framework Integrated Project TENCompetence.
The objective of the workshop is to identify and analyse current
research and technologies in the fields that provide design guidelines and
evidence for powerful interfaces, interaction and navigation support, and
tailor-made competence development opportunities for individual learners, teams
and organisations. These actors and organisations (will) use open source
infrastructures that contain all the services to (further) develop their
competences, using all the distributed knowledge resources (including actors),
learning activities, units of learning and learning routes/ programmes that are
available online.
The main theme of this workshop is to provide an overview
on current research on support and empowerment of learners in relation to their
competence development. The theme includes, but is not limited to support for
learners in
*
managing and creating competence profiles and e-portfolios
*
becoming aware of their competences and establishing their position within a
learning network, compared to peers and resources
*
finding adequate resources, both material resources and peers
*
knowledge management
*
creating their own learning paths
*
monitoring of their competence development progress
*
giving and receiving help from tutors and peers
Research may be performed at all levels of implementation
and includes:
* conceptual
models, both pedagogical and/or organisational
*
learning designs
*
software, varying from software agents to whole infrastructures, explicitly
including open source systems
Also, all stages of the research cycle are welcomed, including:
*
validation and evaluation of existing systems and models
*
development of new systems and models
* reviews of
literature, meta-analyses and descriptions of state-of-the art
Topics relevant to the workshop include, but are not
limited to:
*
Personal data, profiles, and portable ePortfolios for competence registration
*
Competence description frameworks for
professions
*
Learner positioning
*
Technologies for the discovery of suitable learning resources
*
Collaborative filtering technologies, recommend or systems for learning
*
Authoring, discovery, advise and/or exchange of knowledge
resources, learning activities or units of learning
*
Knowledge Management issues related to competence development, lifelong
learning or HRM
*
Research and technology development to support users in creating adequate
learning designs (e.g. software agents or design aids)
*
Navigational support to users in a learning network
*
Personalised and collaborative trails using knowledge resources or learning
activities
*
Research and technology development of pedagogical and organisational models and
scenarios for competence development, and their validation
*
Competence assessment, including self-assessment
*
Monitoring (changes in) competences in professions
*
Social software usable for lifelong competence development
*
Dynamic discovery of, and collaboration between, informal learning groups
* New
social theories and practices which have implications for Competence
Development
*
Methods and tools to support learners in distributed environments, peer
tutoring, teaching, mentoring, coaching
*
Learning Design for formal and informal Lifelong Learning and Competence
Development
*
Mobile support for lifelong competence development
*
Semantic Web and lifelong competence development
* Use
of language technologies to support learning processes
*
Models and tools supporting work-based learning
*
Open standards and specifications usable for learning networks
*
Gender issues related to competence development and competence management
*
Evaluations of existing systems and open source infrastructures
*
Studies defining the current state-of-the-art in learning systems and open
source infrastructures for lifelong competence development
*
Advanced instruments and technologies for the evaluation of competence
development management (gaming, collaborative learning, competence development,
ePortfolios)
