========================================================= CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 1st Workshop on LINKED EDUCATION 2015 https://linked2015.wordpress.com/ co-located with ISWC 2015 Oct. 11, 2015 Bethlehem, PA, USA =========================================================
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The rising Web of Data including developments in information and communication technology, together with social and economic changes lead to a networked world. Semantic Web technologies, Web and Data Science, in combination with Social Networking on various scales have a profound effect on learning and teaching. On the other hand, new forms of distance teaching and openly available educational resources on the Web have become common practices, which also influence current curricula of these disciplines in higher education institutions and private training organizations. Learners shift between formal, non-formal and informal learning. They come together in different social settings and communities. Roles of teachers are also subject to change. Here, Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies on the one hand, open new opportunities on how educational services can be supported, specifically the reuse and repurposing of educational material and the analysis and interpretation of learning activities. On the other hand, said technologies require new skill-sets for actors in the educational world across a variety of disciplines. Given the relevance of data literacy across a multitude of fields, from social sciences to engineering-related disciplines, curricula have to reflect and address such data-centric skills. The workshop addresses researchers and practitioners interested in the application of Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies in eLearning as well as academics, students, and companies who are interested in the curricula, methodologies, and eLearning technologies to mediate the required knowledge and skills in Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. PROGRAM 09.00 am Welcome and Invited Keynote Mathieu D’Aquin. Sharing Knowledge is What we Do: Education and/or the Semantic Web 10.30 – 11.00am Coffee break 11.00 am Paper presentations: Stephen Hookway, Max Metzger, Amy Sliva, Terry Patten, Samuel Lasser, Jeffrey Wallace and Rodney Long.

SERIF: A Semantic ExeRcise Interchange Format INTERACTIVE SESSION (1) LIGHTNING TALKS Sign up for an own lightning presentation at https://linked2015.wordpress.com/program/lighting-talks/ 3.30 – 4.00pm Coffee break 4.00 pm INTERACTIVE SESSION (2) What and how should we teach Semantic Web? – Towards a unified Semantic Web Technologies curriculum. Discussion with all participants who have an interest in teaching and learning Semantic Web Technologies The goal of the discussion is to bring together as many people as possible who are all involved in teaching semantic web technologies. We want to discuss a possible Semantic Web curriculum, not only for computer science students only, but also with regard to web science, data science, economics & engineering, etc. We want to address and discuss questions such as: what are the essential components/subjects of a semantic web curriculum? what should be emphasized, what should be thrown out? to what extent should we dig down into technology and theory? how much theory, how much practical work is useful / necessary? how much logic do we need? what should be the principal prerequisites? lightweight Linked Data lecture vs. heavyweight Semantic Technologies lecture how to teach semantic web technologies? how to make use of MOOCs, lecture recordings, textbooks, material, etc.? how can we join/share our efforts? and more... We want to give every participant the possibility to share her/his view on the subject and also introduce their own personal way of teaching semantic web. You are invited to contribute and sign up for a brief lightning presentation of 2-5 minutes via https://linked2015.wordpress.com/program/lighting-talks/ It would really be great if you join and contribute to our discussion. ?
