Preface
The ninth edition of the European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learn-
ing (EC-TEL) was held in Graz (Austria) during September 16-20, 2014. This
volumecollectsallpeer-reviewedcontributionsthatwereincludedintheexciting
programof this year’s conference.
EC-TEL is growing each year and is becoming the major interdisciplinary
venueforthe communityoftechnology-enhancedlearningresearchersinEurope
and worldwide. Since 2006, EC-TEL has provided a reference point for relevant
state-of-the art research in TEL; first in Crete (Greece, also in 2007), and then
in Maastricht (The Netherlands, 2008), Nice (France, 2009), Barcelona (Spain,
2010),Palermo(Italy,2011),Saarbru¨cken(Germany,2012)andPaphos(Cyprus,
2013).
ThethemeofEC-TEL2014was“OpenLearningandTeachinginEducational
Communities.” This is to recognizethat educational and learning arrangements
in our modern society are increasingly characterized by openness in terms of
participation,communitybuildingaswellashighlightingtheimportanceoftools,
devices,andresourcesusedtosupportopenaccessandsociallearning.Aspartof
agreaterdrivetowardsociallearning,wenoteshiftsbetweenformal,non-formal,
and informal group learning.
Today, learners are coming together in different social settings and com-
munities such as in groups in schools, teams in a company, and in informal
communities of learners. They share and co-create educational resources and
interact with an ever increasing number of open educational resources (OER).
Learning communities differ in dimension from local ones, through local groups
to widely distributed global communities, such as witnessed by the emerging
MOOCs paradigm. The learners use multiple computational tools and devices,
often at the same time, e.g., tablets and smartphones for individual learning,
interactive tables and electronic whiteboards for collaboration, or mobile tech-
nologies for taking learning outside the classroom. Often, access to the open
educational arrangements take place in a mobile and ubiquitous fashion.
To understand how learning in such open educational communities happens
and how learning and teaching technology can be supported in this context
was the guiding question in this year’s edition. Drawing on the core TEL dis-
ciplines of computer science, education, psychology, cognitive science and social
science,researchcontributionspresentedinEC-TEL2014addressedtopicssuch
as informal learning, self-regulated and self-directed learning, reflective learn-
ing, inquiry-based learning, communities of learners and communities of prac-
tice, learning design, learning analytics, personalization and adaptation, social
media, computer-supported collaborative learning, massive open online courses
(MOOCs), and schools and universities of the future.
VI Preface
Moreover, EC-TEL 2014 was collocated with the 14th International Confer-
enceonKnowledgeTechnologiesandData-DrivenBusiness(i-KNOW2014)and
the programs were tightly integrated with shared plenary and keynote sessions.
This introduced the EC-TEL community to emerging topics such as data ana-
lytics, whichis alsoshaping the learning scene as education becomes more open
and accessible.
This 2014 edition was extremely competitive, given the high number of sub-
missionsgeneratedyetagain. Outofthe over200initial abstractsubmissions,a
totalof165validpapersubmissionswerereceived.Ofthese,113werefullpapers.
AllsubmissionswereassignedtothreemembersoftheProgramCommittee(PC)
for review. One of the reviewers had the role of leading reviewer and initiated
a discussion in case of conflicting reviews. All reviews as well as the discussions
werecheckedanddiscussedwithintheteamofPCchairs,andadditionalreviews
or meta-reviews were elicited if necessary. Finally, 27 submissions were selected
as full papers (resulting in an acceptance rate for full papers of 23.9%). Addi-
tionally, 18 papers were presentedas short papers, 16 as demonstrations and 26
as posters. Table 1 shows the detailed statistics.

Keynote presentations completed this competitive scientific program, Eti-
enne Wenger-Trayner, educational theorist and practitioner, best known for his
seminal work on communities of practice and social learning theory, gave a talk
entitled “Open Learning and Teaching: Perspectives from the Social Learning
Theory.” In addition there were two keynotes shared with the i-KNOW con-
ference. Bernardo A. Huberman, Senior HP Fellow and Director of the Social
Computing Lab at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, presented his work on social
attention. Viktor Mayer Scho¨nberger, Chair of Internet Governance and Regu-
lation at the Oxford Internet Institute, gave a talk about big data and how it
promises to fundamentally change how we make sense of the world.
Continuing with the tradition started in EC-TEL 2012, demonstrations had

a “TEL Demo Shootout” in which the demonstrations were shown “in action”
giving the audience the possibility to vote for the best demo. Demonstrations
were also interactively exhibited during the conference and posters during the
welcome reception, sparking discussions between different but complementary
groups, bringing the community closer to solving the many problems we are
facing. Besides, representatives from the industry presented and discussed their
vision of the field in the industry track.
The TEL community also proposed and organized a number of stimulating
workshops as part of the conference. In all, 11 workshops and tutorials were
selected from the proposals and were organized. Some of them continue a row
of established workshops, like the workshops on motivational and affective as-
pectsinTELoronawarenessandreflectioninTEL.Othersconsidernewtopics
like MOOCs or smart city learning. A doctoral consortium was organized con-
currently with the workshops. It provided an opportunity for PhD students to
discuss their work with experienced TEL researchers.
We would like to thank the many contributors without whom the confer-
ence would not have been possible. These include foremost the authors, the
PC members and reviewers, and the conference chairs, who all contributed to
the program. We would also like to thank an enthusiastic and dedicated local
organizationteaminGrazwhomadeEC-TELasmoothandmemorableexperi-
ence. The conference was also partially supported by the European Association
of Technology-Enhanced Learning (EATEL), the University of Graz, Springer,
EasyChair, and the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies.
