       EDM 2014 Extended Proceedings
                                   Preface
In this volume we compile the papers accepted for publication in the 4
workshops that are run in the 7th International Conference on Educational Data
Mining (EDM 2014). For the first time in this conference series a call for
workshops was published, resulting in a very positive response from the EDM
community, as thse proceedings show.

The purpose of EDM workshops 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.

The workshops held in conjunction with EDM 2014 are the following:

      Graph-based Educational Data Mining (G-EDM). Organizers: Collin F.
       Lynch, Tiffany Barnes
      Non--Cognitive Factors & Personalization for Adaptive Learning
       (NCFPAL). Organizers: Steven Ritter, Stephen E. Fancsali
      Approaching Twenty Years of Knowledge Tracing: Lessons
       Learned, Open Challenges, and Promising Developments (BKT20y).
       Organizers: Michael Yudelson, José P. González-Brenes, Michael Mozer
      Feedback from Multimodal Interaction in Learning Management
       Systems (FFMI). Organizers: Lars Schmidt-Thieme, Ruth Janning

We would like to thank all workshop organizers for their involvement and
cooperation along the process, as well as their efforts in attracting contributions
and participants to their workshops.
