Motivation

Standard Information Systems for learning purposes have matured, technology

is stable and masses of information can be made available to the learner.

Most educational institutions are already using such learning systems either

in a blended or purely online form for delivering parts of courses or fully

online courses to their students.

Besides such formal learning systems, we are surrounded by multimodal

interfaces which enable the inclusion of all human senses, and mobile,

ubiquitous and pervasive technology is available everywhere and at all time.

Current research deals with using such new technologies for the purpose of

learning, integrating them in current learning systems, and building

learning environments where students are provided with more authentic

learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. Furthermore,

new technologies allow students to interact with the learning environment in

more natural and intuitive ways, using multimodal and smart interfaces from

various types of devices ranging from mobile phones to smart boards.

The focus of this special workshop is on the provision of enhanced user

experience (UX), including making information more useful, usable and

enjoyable. This is a challenge for interdisciplinary research on the

intersection of Psychology and Computer Science.

This workshop shall bring together researchers and practitioners from

Psychology and Computer Science, bridging classic Human-Computer Interaction

research (HCI) with Usability Engineering (UE), aiming at bringing clear

benefits for learners!
