ebtel 2012 - International Workshop on evidenced-based Technology Enhanced Learning

Research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) investigates how information and communication technologies can be designed in order to support pedagogical activities. The Evidence based Design (EBD) of a system bases its decisions on empirical evidence and effectiveness. The evidence-based TEL workshop (ebTEL) brings together TEL and EBD. The workshop aims at collecting contributions concerning evidence based TEL systems, like their design following EBD principles as well as success stories or best practices that educators, education stakeholders or educational psychologists used to improve their students' learning experience, including design, success stories and best practices with students with specific difficulties (e.g. poor/slow readers, students living in impoverished communities or families). In this manner, the international ebTEL 2012 workshop wants to be a forum in which TEL researchers and practitioners alike can discuss ideas, projects, and lessons related to ebTEL. The meeting will be held in Salamanca on March 28th-30th 2012, in parallel with the PAAMS'12 International Conference.
