Description
The Search as Learning Workshop aims to flesh out research directions & methodologies and survey state-of-the-art approaches in this important emerging research area. We are particularly interested in submissions across the IR, IS, HCI and learning science fields. Topics of interest include the following (but are not limited to): Understanding searching as a human learning process. When and how learning occurs in the search process. The relationship between the learning process and searchers' work task contexts. Features and functionalities to foster learning. Search interface design in support of learning. The implications of searching for learning for different populations: children, low literacy searchers, non-experts. The role of affect and engagement on learning while searching. Methods and measures to assess learning performance and experience. Learning analytics for search contexts. Collaborative aspects of searching as learning. Indicators of learning (while searching). Interaction monitoring, modelling, and optimization for learning outcomes.| Period | 10 May 2016 → 17 May 2016 |
