Organizers
Daniel Spikol & Marcelo Milrad, Linnaeus University, Sweden
Spikol is a Senior Lecturer at the Dept. of Computer Science Physics and Mathematics and a researcher at the Center for Learning and Knowledge Technologies (CeLeKT). He currently is working with the LETS GO project.
Milrad is a Full Professor of Media Technology at the School of Computer Science, Physics and Mathematics. He is also the director of the Center for Learning and Knowledge Technologies (CeLeKT). His current research interests include the design of learning environments to support learning about complex domains, collaborative discovery learning and the development of mobile and wireless applications to support collaborative learning.
Astrid Wichmann, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
Wichmann is researcher at the Ruhr University Bochum. Her research focus is on computer-based inquiry learning. She has worked in several EU-funded projects (COLDEX, CONNECT, ARGUNAUT, SCY) concentrating on designing and evaluating educational technology.
Ulrich Hoppe & Jan Engler, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Hoppe holds a professorship for “Cooperative and Learning Support Systems” in the Dept. of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Science. With a background in mathematics and educational technology, Hoppe has been working for about ten years on intelligent user interfaces and cognitive models of human-computer interaction, before he re-focused his research on technology enhanced learning and distributed collaborative environments.
Engler is researcher at COLLIDE Research Group in the Dept. of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Science. His research interests cover the usage of ontologies for the support to design inquiry-learning scenarios. He is also focusing on intelligent agent support for learning environments. Currently he is working in the EU-funded SCY (Science Created by You) project.
Ton de Jong, University of Twente, Netherlands
Ton de Jong is professor of Educational Psychology of Behavioral Sciences where he acts as department head of the department Instructional Technology. He is currently coordinator of the 7th framework project Science Created by You (SCY).
Roy Pea & Heidy Maldonado, Stanford University, United States
Pea is the David Jacks Professor of Education and the Learning Sciences at Stanford University and Director of the H-STAR Institute. In addition to work on mobile inquiry, Dr. Pea’s current work is addressing new paradigms for everyday-networked video interactions, and how informal and formal learning can be better understood and connected, in theory and practice via pervasive mobile technologies.
Maldonado is a Doctoral Candidate in Learning Sciences and Technology Design. Her research interests include computer supported collaborative learning and work; mobile interface design for learning and collaboration; cross-cultural interface design; design and interaction with embodied expressive computer agents.
Eileen Scanlon & Canan Blake , Open University, United Kingdom
Scanlon is Professor of Educational Technology and Associate Director of Research and Scholarship in the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University in the UK. She is also Visiting Professor in Moray House School of Education, University of Edinburgh. She has extensive research experience on educational technology projects.
Blake is a Research Fellow for the CAL Evaluation Project which mainly deals with the evaluation of computer based materials and/or multimedia components of selected OU courses. Her research focus is on the evaluation of computer based teaching/learning resources and educational evaluation methodology and the analysis of computer conferencing (text-based) and mapping interactions among students.
Claire O’Malley, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom
O’Malley is currently Professor of Learning Science, and Dean of the Graduate School, and a Chartered Psychologist. Over the past twenty years, Claire has been involved in many national and international committees and conferences and the Editorial Boards of leading journals, speaking and publishing widely in the field of computer-supported learning and interaction.
Stamatina Anastopoulou, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece
Anastopoulou is now a Researcher at the Educational Technology Lab, exploring the ways science learning can be promoting through participating in informal learning activities. She participated at the Personal Inquiry project where she studied inquiry-based science with mobile technologies across different settings.
