2011 - The 5th Workshop on Modeling, Management and Generation of Problems/Questions in Adaptive Learning Environment

The 5th Workshop on Modeling, Management and Generation of Problems/Questions in Adaptive Learning Environment

A brief description of the workshop topic

Solving problems/questions is one of the most indispensable and important elements in the teaching and learning process. Problems/questions ask for specific domain knowledge and their difficulties are moderated by given and/or ungiven conditions. Providing appropriate problems/questions enables teachers to assess the mastery levels of their students appropriately. In addition, problem/questions-centered learning, including learning by problem solving and generation, allows students to apply learned knowledge to various situations. In order to accomplish the problems/questions-centered adaptive teaching and learning, it is essential to prepare a large amount of problems/questions on domain knowledge. In addition, appropriate metadata should be attended to so as to select questions/problems that are appropriate to students. In ICCE2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010 we held successful workshops where we paid special attention to “questions/problems” in technology-enhanced learning. This is the 5th workshop focusing on the same topic. This continuous workshop will provide a good and timely opportunity to present and share the results and issues of investigations about "problems/questions" in the ICCE community. We cordially invite presenters and participants who are interested in further exploring the many facets and potential uses of "problems/questions" in education/learning from a theoretical, technological, pedagogical, sociological or administrational point of views.
