Abstract
Awareness and reflection are viewed differently across the disciplines informing Technology- Enhanced Learning (CSCW, psychology, educational sciences, computer science...). The ARTEL workshop series brings together researchers and professionals from different back- grounds to provide a forum for discussing the multi-faceted area of awareness and reflec- tion.
The theme of the 2013 workshop was:
How can awareness and reflection support learning in different settings (work, education, continuing professional development, lifelong learning, etc.). What are the roles that technology can play to support awareness and reflection in these contexts?
This theme was covered in several topics of the workshop. The main interests were about the theoretical discussion of awareness and reflection in TEL and related concepts (e.g., collaborative learning, creativity techniques, experiential learning, etc.). The methodolo- gies to identify, study and analyse awareness and reflection in the context of (technology- enhanced) learning. Besides theory and methodology the workshop informed about em- pirical studies about technology support for awareness and reflection. A special aim was to showcase technology (design, application, evaluation) supporting awareness and reflec- tion. Here, the central question was how awareness and reflection technologies can help to enhance the learning experience, by researching learner’s awareness of social context, knowledge, artefacts and processes, and awareness and reflection in specific contexts, such as higher education, work-integrated learning, learning networks, etc.
The workshop included a paper session, demo and prototype slam as well as interactive sessions. The workshop provided a forum for presenting and discussing research on aware- ness and reflection in TEL, and created an interactive experience that connects partici- pants’ research, current tools or latest prototypes and models with real end users’ learning experiences and requirements regarding reflection technology. Researchers and practition- ers came together to work on the future agenda of ARTEL research and development (see the topic map below).
