January 21, 2014: Workshop and Tutorial proposal submission due

EDM cordially invites proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the EDM conference. Proposals for both full-day and half-day proposals will be accepted. The purpose of EDM workshops and tutorials is to provide an opportunity for participants from academia, industry, government and other related parties to present and discuss novel ideas on current and emerging topics relevant to Educational Data Mining. EDM requires adapting existing approaches or developing new approaches that build upon techniques from a combination of areas, including but not limited to statistics, psychometrics, machine learning, information retrieval, recommender systems and scientific computing. We encourage workshops that bring together people working on new and developing research topics that favour highly interactive discussions. Tutorial proposals are encouraged that go in-depth into topics of interest to the EDM community. Proposals of tutorials and workshops must provide information explaining the interest to the EDM community, and why a workshop or tutorial on this topic is beneficial.
