The #ARTEL16 workshop accepted two full papers, and four short papers. The accepted papers discuss awareness and reflection according to three themes.
Three papers focused on the theme learning analytics, visualisation and dashboards for awareness and reflection.
The full paper ’Designing Generic Visualisations for Activity Log Data’ written by Granit Luzhnica, Angela Fessl, Eduardo Veas, Belgin Mutlu, and Viktoria Pammer aims at an important issue in lifelong and professional learning that is how to visualize log data from various resources in a generic way without knowing in advance concrete analytic tasks. The authors have implemented a tool, called Vis-Tool. The presented evaluation compares Vis-Tool with three specific applications, considering ten evaluation tasks. The results show possible benefits of Vis-Tool.
The short paper ’Reflection Analytics in Online Communities: Guiding Users to become active in Collaborative Reflection’ of Oliver Blunk, Michael Prilla, and Graham Attwell describes a prototype visualisation that aims at supporting the awareness of students about group activity in the context of reflective online group collaborative work. The short paper Visualizing Online (Social) Learning Processes - Designing a Dashboard to Support Reflection’ co-authored by Darya Hayit, Tobias Ho¨lterhof, Martin Rehm, Oskar Carl, and Michael Kerres provides an overview of a prototype dashboard for visualising social learning processes. Two papers were accepted that provide a perspective on collaborative/social reflection and reflection in the workplace.
The short paper ’E-portfolio for Awareness and Reflection in a Blended Learning Environment’ written by Morin Roa, Eliana Scheihing, Julio Daniel Guerra, and Carlos Blan˜a presents research about an e-portfolio used for awareness and reflection within a blended learning community. The e-portfolio has been evaluated by members of this community in terms of its usability and usefulness.
Tracie Farrell Frey, George Gkotsis, and Alexander Mikroyannidis present in their short paper ’Are you Thinking what I’m Thinking? Representing Metacognition with Questionbased Dialogue’ an early prototype and background literature for a tool to create representational artefacts of metacognitive thinking in a collaborative, social environment. The third theme of the workshops was about literature reviews and theoretical contributions to awareness and reflection.
The short paper ’Considering Self-Efficacy in Reflection’ by Birgit Krogstie and John Krogstie discusses the relationship between self-efficacy and reflective learning. The authors argue that as self-efficacy is instrumental in shaping the experiences a person actually generates, and experience is the ’object’ of reflective learning, self efficacy needs to be considered in designing the reflection activity.
