--------------------------------------------- EDM2010 Warning: Deadline for full papers --March 10-- approaching!!!!!! See http://www.educationaldatamining.org/EDM2010 for details The Third International Conference on Educational Data Mining Pittsburgh, PA USA June 11-13, 2010 Topics of Interest We welcome papers describing original work. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Improving educational software. Many large educational data sets are generated by computer software. Can we use our discoveries to improve the [WINDOWS-1252?]softwares effectiveness? * Domain representation. How do learners represent the domain? Does this representation shift as a result of instruction? Do different subpopulations represent the domain differently? * Evaluating teaching interventions. Student learning data provides a powerful mechanism for determining which teaching actions are successful. How can we best use such data? * Emotion, affect, and choice. The [WINDOWS-1252?]students level of interest and willingness to be a partner in the educational process is critical. Can we detect when students are bored and uninterested? What other affective states or student choices should we track? * Integrating data mining and pedagogical theory. Data mining typically involves searching a large space of models. Can we use existing educational and psychological knowledge to better focus our search? * Improving teacher support. What types of assessment information would help teachers? What types of instructional suggestions are both feasible to generate and would be welcomed by teachers? * Replication studies. We are especially interested in papers that apply a previously used technique to a new domain, or that reanalyze an existing data set with a new technique. * Best practices for adaptation of data mining techniques to EDM. We are especially interested in papers that present best practices or methods for the adaptation of techniques from data mining and other relevant literatures to the specific needs of analysis of educational data. Important Dates * Paper submission: March 10, 2010 (23:59:59 EST), no extension * Acceptance notification: April 21, 2010 * Poster abstract submission: April 28, 2010 (23:59:59 EST) * Poster notification: May 3, 2010 * Camera ready papers, posters: May 19, 2010 * Conference: June 11-13, 2010 _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
