SCOPE AND
OBJECTIVES Despite a great potential and some initial successes,
e-learning systems do not yet have the impact that many believe is possible. Moreover, the
gap seems to be increasing because of the greater expectations of the current generation
(Digital Natives) who have grown up with modern technology. There are also more general
problems. In particular, an over-emphasis on cost effectiveness has meant that content is
often not as strong as it needs to be and this deficiency has contributed to a lack of user
engagement and some high attrition rates. Studies have consistently highlighted the
important relationship between engagement and learning, with students who are highly
motivated being more likely to engage in the learning process. The Third International
Workshop ALICE 2013 aims at providing a forum for innovative adaptive e-learning combining
personalization, collaboration, simulation and storytelling aspects within an
affective/emotional based approach able to contribute to the overcoming of the quoted
limitations of current e-learning systems and content. Special emphasis is given to
environments that are interactive, challenging and context aware while enabling learners'
demand of empowerment, social identity, and authentic learning experience. The expected
contributions should be able to effectively involve learners in educational, cultural and
informative activities. Empirical results from real users in real learning and training
settings will be very valuable in order to evaluate and discuss the impact of the proposed
innovative features. Academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited
to exchange their experiences and ideas about problems and solutions related to the design,
development and use of advanced and innovative, knowledge based learning systems and
applications. Researchers can report their ideas, models, designs and experiences on the
proposed topics.
TOPICS OF INTEREST The main topics of
interest within the scope of advances and innovative e-Learning systems include, but
are not limited to: - Affective and Emotional Approaches - Live and Virtualized
Collaboration - Simulation and Serious Games - New Forms of Assessment -
Storytelling - Adaptive and Knowledge-based Technologies
