GIFT

The GIFT team is hosting a half-day VIRTUAL workshop titled "Advances and Opportunities in Team Tutoring" during the Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) 2022 Conference (the conference itself is hybrid from Durham, UK). The workshop itself is completely VIRTUAL. 800 word abstracts are due on May 2nd, 2022.

We invite workshop paper submissions about the topic of Team Tutoring and Collaborative Learning.

The call for papers and submission information can be found at:
https://easychair.org/cfp/TeamTutoringWorkshopAIED2022

The goals of this VIRTUAL workshop include providing a forum for researchers to discuss the progress that they have made in team or collaborative tutoring, discuss the approaches that they have taken, the challenges that they have encountered, and/or present theoretical models on innovative methodologies to address future work on team or collaborative tutoring.

This workshop is expected to be of interest to those in academia, government, and industry who are developing tutoring experiences intended to include interaction between multiple learners. The expected outcomes of the workshop include an identification of team tutoring gaps/challenges in varying learning domains, approaches that have been successful or unsuccessful in meeting those challenges, and determining the next steps in approaches that AIED researchers can use for their own team tutor development.

The workshop will include a presentation of the accepted papers, followed by an open discussion about the challenges and current state of team tutoring. The discussion will conclude by addressing research gaps and future directions of team tutoring.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference.
Reviews and acceptances will be based on extended abstracts, which are 800 words.
Full papers are between 5 to 12 pages in CEUR-ART format.
Proceedings papers are planned to be published online at http://ceur-ws.org or www.gifttutoring.org
Both empirical and theoretical papers with topics related to team tutoring and computer-based collaborative learning are welcome.
