Best Interactive Event
Sensing Student Emotion and Responding Appropriately
David Cooper, Ivon Arroyo and Beverly Woolf
The Interactive Events track will showcase interactive demonstrations of AIED systems such as intelligent tutors, related tools, or individual components that exhibit intelligent educational behaviors. Ideally, Interactive Events should let AIED attendees interact first-hand with these systems, not just watch them passively. Interactive Events will be held during the opening reception so as to avoid competing with technical sessions. We especially encourage authors submitting papers to the main conference to submit Interactive Event proposals too.
Form and content
The proposal should be a Web-viewable, step-by-step scenario of a 5-minute Interactive Event as a sequence of key screenshots, tutorial dialogue turns, or video clips, annotated to explain the system purpose, user input, system output, and overall scenario. It should serve as a plan for the Interactive Event and, to the extent possible, as a self-explanatory substitute that will remain accessible after AIED2009. Text may total up to 2000 words.
Submission
Email IE proposals to mostow@cs.cmu.edu and K.L.Howland@sussex.ac.uk as follows:
- Include “[AIED09 Interactive Event proposal] in the Subject line of the message.
- Attach a one-page abstract as a .pdf file in the AIED paper format, with “Interactive Event” in the title, author information, email, and a brief explanation of the system’s purpose, significance, and novelty. Final abstracts will be published in the AIED proceedings with pointers to web-accessible scenarios.
- Include the scenario as either (a) the URL to view it as web page(s) in a standard browser, (b) a .pdf attachment, or (c) a URL to download it as a .pdf file.
- Indicate whether the event will require an Internet connection.
Criteria
The Interactive Event chairs will select proposals based upon expected interest to AIED attendees, scientific value, originality, innovation, and potential logistic constraints. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate.
Awards
IE chairs will confer Best Interactive Event Award(s) based in part on audience feedback.
Equipment
AIED will provide large displays, tables, chairs, power, and Internet connections.
Presenters should provide the rest, including computers with necessary software installed.
