Goals

With this workshop, we intend to bring together the research communities of Video-Based Learning (VBL), Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and Social Networks in Education (SNE). Under the scope of the educational use of videos, we aim to explore synergies with CSCL and Social Networks.

The following questions describe the goals of this workshop:

• What is the educational impact of the use of videos in the classroom?
• How can CSCL effectively support collaborative creation of storyboard and videos with educational aim?
• How can SNE effectively support learning by sharing and discussion around videos with educational aim?
• What techniques used in the CSCL and Social Networks can contribute to a better analysis of students' interactions and learning outcomes?
• How can learning analytics help to assess the educational impact and to scaffold the learning process?
• How can recommender systems be applied to VBL environments to promote collaboration between students?
• What features should a video-based educational social network have to be pedagogically efficient?

This workshop is supported by the JuxtaLearn research project http://www.juxtalearn.eu, an FP7 project exploring a pedagogical and technological framework that exploits performance to enhance science and technology learning. JuxtaLearn will encourage students to use creative activities, in particular video-making, to help them with concepts they find difficult to understand.
