A full day workshop in connection with the 20th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Editors :
Management.
Preface The second International Workshop on Educational Knowledge Management (EKM 2016)1 was organized as a satellite event to the 20th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW), held in Bologna, Italy, November 19th to 23th, 2016. The workshop was held on the 20th of November.
The interest in Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management for the educational domain has been growing in recent years. This can be seen in the series of conferences organized by the International Educational Data Mining Society and in papers discussing the role of knowledge management in higher education. As education is increasingly occurring online or in educational software, resulting in an explosion of data, new techniques are being developed and tested, aiming for instance to improve educational effectiveness, determine the key factors to the success of educational training, support basic research on learning, or manage educational training by satisfying the needs of a community, local industry, or professional development. The paper “Knowledge Management for Educational Information Systems: What Is the State of the Field?” written by Christopher A. Thorn in the journal “Education Policy Analysis Archives” put on the need of KM techniques to face current evolution of educational systems especially the mobility of students/teachers involved in interactive learning. Thus, educational systems need KM to support and control the evolution of teaching and learning, and KM techniques must be adapted to education and take into account pedagogic dimensions. The event aimed to bring together researchers, academic and professional leaders, consultants, and practitioners, from the domain of semantic web, data mining, machine learning, linked data, and natural language processing to discuss and share experiences in the educational area. In the call of papers, we invited submissions reporting original research related to any problem of managing and exploring information in the educational area in schools, colleges, universities, and other academic or professional learning institutions.
A non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop included the following: Knowledge management and ontology Knowledge management and Multi-agents system Data mining and semantic web Knowledge acquisition, extraction, reuse Natural language processing to improve educational effectiveness Providing feedback to teachers and other stakeholders generated from EKM methods Generic frameworks, methods and approached for EKM Learner or student modeling Mining the results of educational research Educational process mining Improving educational software Evaluating teaching interventions Integrating data mining and pedagogical theory 1 Website: http://uni.gsu.edu.tr/index.php/en/conferences-en Integration pedagogical dimensions for knowledge appropriation Practice learning experiences and techniques Improving teacher support Semantic annotation Linked educational data Educational knowledge evolution Community of learning and community of practices Two members of the following program committee have reviewed our submissions: Ayako Hoshino, Data Science Research Laboratories, NEC Corp., Kawasaki, Japan Catherine Faron Zucker, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France Davide Taibi, Institute for Educational Technologies, Italian National Research

Following the reviewers’ recommendations, six full papers out of the eleven submitted papers were accepted for presentation and inclusion into the workshop proceedings volume; subject to revisions as recommended by the reviewers. We invite participants and readers to enjoy the workshop program.
The workshop was a half day format with one invited speaker, and six oral presentations.
Nada Matta, is a full Professor at the University of Technology of Troyes. She studies techniques in knowledge engineering and management and specially to handle cooperative activities. She organized several workshops and Tutorials on KM jointly to IJCAI, ECAI, COOP, CTS conferences. She contributed on several book publications in experiences of KM in companies and learning. She is involved in scientific committee of several conferences, journals and research groups and she manage several projects on the application of KM in several domains (design, consulting, security, safety). Her talk was entitled “an Experience of use KM in Teaching at UTT”. You can find more details at the end of this document.
