International Workshop on Enabling Successful Self-Regulation in Open
Learning Environments (S-ROLE 2011)
8-10 December, 2011, Hong Kong, in conjunction with
ICWL 2011 - International Conference on Web-based Learning
http://dbis.rwth-aachen.de/S-
Workshop Submission Deadline: September 11, 2011
WORKSHOP TOPIC
This workshop focuses on the design of personal learning environments
and its underlying psychological and pedagogical rational. While a
significant amount of research currently investigates PLEs, in-depth
investigations on how to successfully enable self-regulation in
practice are rare. For instance, most successful PLE usage examples
were driven by digitally literate and self-motivated learners. The
workshop welcomes contributions that elaborate on conditions which are
necessary that a learning environment supports self-regulated learning
and that a learner can use the personal learning environment in a
meaningful way. Furthermore, guidelines and principles should be
elaborated how a learner can compile her own learning environment and
how the compilation can be supported. Case studies from test-beds that
involve "average" learners (e.g., adult learners with limited
opportunities to study and low digital literacy) are particularly
welcome.
Research questions to be addressed include:
• Which factors are relevant that a learning environment supports
self-regulated learning?
• How can a learning environment be personalized to the needs of learners?
• Which guidelines can be made to support the assembly of a learning
environment?
• Which recommendation strategies and systems can support the assembly
of learning environments?
• What case studies about self-regulated learning in open and personal
learning environments are available?
• Which evaluation strategies are possible in the context of learning
environments?
The expected duration of the workshop will be a full day.
SUBMISSION PROCESS
