SPeL 2013
6th International Workshop on Social and Personal Computing for
Web-Supported Learning Communities
http://software.ucv.ro/~epopescu/spel2013

In conjunction with ICSTCC 2013
17th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing
http://ace.ucv.ro/icstcc2013

Sinaia, Romania
11-13 October 2013

==================================================================


MOTIVATION
===========

The workshop follows the previous SPeL 2008, SPeL 2009, SPeL 2010, SPeL
2011 and DULP&SPeL 2012 editions
(http://software.ucv.ro/~epopescu/spel2013/previous.php). The general
topic of the workshop is the social and personal computing for
web-supported learning communities, focusing on emergent technologies for
applied computing in education.

Web-based learning is moving from centralized, institution-based systems
to a decentralized and informal creation and sharing of knowledge. Social
software (e.g., blogs, wikis, social bookmarking systems, media sharing
services) is increasingly being used for e-learning purposes, helping to
create novel learning experiences and knowledge. In the world of pervasive
Internet, learners are also evolving: the so-called "digital natives" want
to be in constant communication with their peers, they expect an
individualized instruction and a personalized learning environment, which
automatically adapt to their individual needs.

This workshop deals with current research on collaboration and
personalization issues in Web-supported learning communities. Its aim is
to provide a forum for discussing new trends and initiatives in this area,
including research about the planning, development, application, and
evaluation of intelligent e-learning systems, where people can learn
together in a personalized way through social interaction with other
learners.

social interactions, adaptivity and personalization in technology enhanced
