MILeS 2021 – Multimodal Immersive Learning Systems
First International Workshop
At EC-TEL 2021 (European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning)
September 20th-21st 2021
Online
MILeS 2021: https://milki-psy.de/miles-workshop/

Submission deadline for extended abstracts: July 14th, 2021
DESCRIPTION
Advances in the related fields of wearable sensors, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning make it possible to connect these technologies into integrated learning solutions. The intersection of these fields of emerging technologies is an area of a lot of opportunities for innovative learning systems, but likewise a field of fuzzy expectations. With this workshop we want to contribute to the systematic organisation of the field and to the advancement of solutions.
The MILeS 2021 workshop is organised in the context of the German BMBF-funded research project MILKI-PSY, which aims to develop AI-supported, data-intensive, multimodal, immersive learning environments for the independent learning of psychomotor skills. This leads to a cross-domain approach that makes it possible to record the activities of experts in a multimodal manner and to use these recordings as blueprints for learners. With the help of AI-based analysis, learning progress is to be supported by automated error detection and automatically generated, individual feedback. This creates holistic, innovative environments for cultivating psychomotor skills, in which personalized AI support enables individual learning processes based on complex data analyzes.
With the interdisciplinary workshop we aim to bring together experts and practitioners from technology-enhanced learning and educational application of technologies to collect ideas, requirements, best practices, example cases in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Multimodal Systems, Immersive Systems and their application into actual education.
TOPICS
- Mobile, wearable, and pervasive technologies
- Sensors, sensor networks, and Internet of Things
- Augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality
- Artificial intelligence
WORKSHOP FORMAT
MILeS 2021 combines the classic ‘mini-conferences’ approach with technology showroom and working group meetings around a specific problem.
The MILeS 2021 workshop takes place as part of the EC-TEL 2021 conference (European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning). Registration for the workshop needs to be done via the EC-TEL website.
