EDM 2016 - 9th International Conference on Education Data Mining (EDM 2016)

EDM is a leading international forum for high-quality research that leverages data and data science to answer research questions that shed light on the learning process. We invite submissions to EDM 2016, to be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society. Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:
Closing the loop between education data research and educational outcomes
Deriving representations of domain knowledge from data
Detecting and addressing students' affective and emotional states
Data mining with emerging pedagogical environments such as educational games, MOOCs, and exploratory learning
Multi-modal learning environments and sensor analysis
Bridging EDM and Learning analytics
Bridging EDM with pedagogical theory, learning sciences, and learning theory
Mining user-system interaction logs, automated feedback, and grading.
Best practices for adapting the state of the art data mining approaches to the educational domain
Data mining in social and collaborative learning
Generic frameworks, techniques, research methods and approaches for EDM
SUBMISSION TYPES
Workshops, Tutorials: 2 pages. Workshops describe an emerging subfield and the plan organizers have to build growth in this new area. Tutorials describe a tool/method, the organizers and their expertise, and a plan for attendees to learn it in a hands-on way.
Full Papers: 8 pages. Original, substantive, mature and unpublished work.
Short Papers: 4-6 pages. This includes early stage, less developed works in progress.
Industry Papers: 4-6 pages. Innovative uses of EDM in a commercial setting.
Doctoral Consortium: 3 pages. Summary of doctoral student’s research topic, proposed contributions, results so far, and aspects of the research on which advice is sought.
Posters, Demos: 2 pages.
All accepted papers will be published in the open-access proceedings of the conference. A selection of accepted papers for the conference will be invited to extend their submission (providing a significant contribution beyond the conference paper) for a special issue in the
Journal of Educational Data Mining.
Submission guidelines are available soon on http://educationaldatamining.org/EDM2016
