Topics of Interest

This workshop aims to unite a community of researchers interested in various aspects of lifelong learning, particularly in adaptation and personalization. We invite contributions covering all topics related to adaptive lifelong learning, from both technical and didactical perspectives, with a specific focus on, but not limited to, the following list:

• Tailoring lifelong learning to various factors, including knowledge, skills, motivation, engagement, and learning objectives
• Extending the range of adaptation criteria beyond mere relevance, incorporating factors such as fairness, diversity, bias, and pedagogical aspects
• Group-aware and context-aware adaptations in lifelong learning
• Lifelong learning adaptation involving multiple stakeholders, including learners, trainers, and EdTech companies
• Adaptive learning in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
• Quantifying learner’s engagement and dropout risk
• Adaptive or personalized nudging strategies within lifelong learning
• Multi-modal adaptive lifelong learning
• Adaptive educational games for enhancing lifelong learning
• Adaptive computer-assisted language learning
• Adaptive communication with learners (e.g. feedback, dashboard, etc)
• Chatbots for lifelong learning
• Adaptive simulations in work stations
• Explainable adaptations in lifelong learning
• Generating/composing adaptive learning trajectories

Please feel free to contact us to check whether your paper idea matches our call for papers.

Types of submissions

We consider two types of submissions:

• Regular paper:  10-15 pages (including references)
• Short paper: 5-9 pages (including references)

The submission should be positioned within the current state of the field and articulate the contribution of the proposal within its specific application domain, even if preliminary results are presented. Detailed explanation of the methodology is expected, ensuring the replicability of experiments, and whenever feasible, a comparison with existing approaches in the literature should be provided. The short papers are primarily evaluated based on the novelty of their ideas and how well they position the innovation.

Important dates

• Paper submission deadline: December 4th, December 16th, 2024

• Author notification: December 20th, January 13th, 2024

• Camera-ready version deadline: January 20th, 2025

Deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

Paper format

All submissions should be in English and are required to adhere to the the 1-column CEUR-ART style: Word template or Overleaf (LaTeX). Failure to comply with the formatting guidelines may result in rejection prior to review.

Submissions must be anonymous, as we adhere to the double-masked review process. Depending on the number of accepted papers, we will determine whether short papers should be presented through oral presentations or at a poster session. Submissions will be reviewed by the organizing committee.

Submission will be accepted through Easychair.

Publications

All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published on the workshop website and shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their submissions by up to 30% for potential inclusion in a special issue of a journal (name of the journal and special issue will be announced soon).
