LAST CALL FOR PAPER

=Topics=

It is now obvious that the evolution of technologies has largely impacted human activities, the ICHSL conference focuses accordingly, and for 15 years and through 8 editions, with the human/system learning processes. This multidisciplinary approach raises the question of Teaching Media related to both “Data and knowledge” processing, production and acquisition.
ICHSL.8 is interested in questioning, modeling and describing as well the environments (systems), the technical factors and the practices that take part during training and learning activities. By taking into account intelligence is shared between the learners and the teaching devices, it is then possible to consider that both human and learning media can be considered as “learner”.
Learning Media could afford, within a social organization, management and identification of cognitive skills, in the sense where multiple informational phenomena with their context, expressiveness and purposes have to be taken into account.
According to various theoretical approaches and analysis of e-learning and remote training systems, ICHSL.8 is keen to study role and impact of augmented/mixed reality environments into those “complex systems of training.”
“Augmented reality” concept appears to be more closer to a “physical” world than virtual one as it is conditioned by user’ physical actions, actions that translate an effect, a modification or a contribution to the underlying communication system of augmented learning. An augmented learni system is seen here as a mediator combining mutualy physical (traditional) and virtual (digital) information within a learning session (for teachers and learners).
Interpretation, in a situation of augmented learning, is obviously sensitive to traditional perceptive input/output modalities (the five senses), but also to the complex contributions produced by the association of people, speech, and forms. Moreover, augmented learning systems must contribute to the interpretive process by adding items that have been scanned or digitalized (sensory data, spatial, semantic, cultural, historical, legislative, etc.).
ICHSL.8 is intended to focus on (and not limited to) the following topics:
• New learning spaces: augmented classroom
• Spatio-temporality of learning and the “augmented” training: roles and impacts of ICT on the perception of time
• Human-technology interferences during knowledge acquisition process.
• Embodiment of information, knowledge and know-how: “body discourses” in augmented interactions.
• Cognitive and Corporal Personalization of learning processes
