Theme and Scope
The TeSC workshop aims to bring together research groups in
the broader area of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) that
explore the specific issue of Scripted Collaboration and Learning Design
from various perspectives: cognitive, pedagogical, technological, socio-cultural.
Scripted
collaboration is a learning situation where students work collaboratively
(usually in small groups), guided by some instructor-led didactic scenario
(collaboration script). The relevant and broader term “Learning
Design” is also used in the context of CSCL, to denote the combined
effort of providing pedagogically fruitful scenarios and appropriate
digital tools/services to model, scaffold and analyze peer interactions,
thus, fostering high quality learning conditions for learners.
As our
understanding increases on the cognitive and pedagogical issues of Scripted
Collaboration and Learning Design, so does the need for computational
models, representations and tools that facilitate and empower educators in
orchestrating the multiple and complex learning interactions that occur in
such settings. Relevant research has resulted so far in the development of
various tools (like LD editors, players, middleware, etc.), however it is far from having provided definite
answers to the various multifaceted research questions and issues.
Against
this background, a key perspective of the TeSC
workshop is to trace the current frontiers of research and development on
these issues, facilitate the fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue and
interaction among researchers and help toward building stronger community
bonds that may have a positive impact on future research activities. A more
concrete objective of the TeSC workshop will be
to put forward the publishing of a co-edited volume on current advances in
the domain.
We
particularly encourage the submission of papers addressing innovative
approaches, inventive pedagogical/computational constructs and designs, or
presenting ongoing research work and early research outcomes. Well
documented position papers could also be accepted.
Major
topics of the TeSC workshop include (the list is
not exhaustive):
- Advances in the theory and practice of
the Scripting/LD approach
- Learners’ internal scripts and
internal–external Script interaction
- Conceptual and computational modeling of
Scripts and LD
- Pedagogical value of Scripting/LD
- System architectures and user interfaces
for Scripting and LD
- Digital tools and integrated environments
to support Scripting/LD
- Adaptive/intelligent approaches for
technology-enhanced Scripting/LD
- Script-based and LD scenarios in mobile
learning, Web 2.0 tools (social networking) and digital games
- Learning analytics and evaluation methods
for Scripting/LD
- HCI (Human-computer interaction) issues
on Scripting and LD technologies
- Case studies on the impact of
technology-enhanced Scripting/LD in various learning scenarios

Proceedings
Proceedings of the IW-TeSC workshop are included in the INCoS-2014 volume, published by IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed by IEEE Xplore.
Registration
Registration to the workshop will follow the
general registration process applied by conference organizers (further info
to be found here).

Format
The
workshop will be based on a “working groups” format
aiming to facilitate group-discussion and argumentation.
Accepted papers will be classified by
organizers in groups depending on their major characteristics (focus and
perspective, research evidence or technology system presented, etc.). Extended
abstracts of accepted papers will be made available before the
workshop to all participants so that they will have time to review and
reflect on the material.
All authors will be given time to present
their work and answer other participants’ questions. Then
participants will be assigned to working groups and will be asked to
reflect on key issues and ideas raised by the presented papers.
Representatives of working groups will be asked to summarize the
conclusions of their group and discuss them with all participants.
