Subject: LAK Workshop on Writing Analytics

 Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) pre-conference workshop on Writing
Analytics Literacy - Call for Participation

The 2nd Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) pre-conference workshop, to be
held in Vancouver March 13-17th.

Workshop website: http://wa.utscic.edu.au/events/lak17wa/

This workshop will be of interest to a wide range of LAK delegates including:
students and researchers actively engaged in writing research, text analytics
or writing analytics specifically; educators in schools, universities and
businesses; leaders and policymakers; and companies active or potentially
active in the field.

We particularly invite participants who’re thinking about the question: “How
can I use learning analytics to improve student writing” - whether as
technologists, linguists, or teachers.

Participation: Those interested in participating are invited to submit short
(1 page maximum) applications for one of the following roles briefly
describing which role you would like to participate in at the workshop and
what you bring to the position (e.g., past experience working with student
writing or writing analytics, how this area relates to your research
interests). The workshop chairs will select contributions from a balance of
roles, to ensure the workshop runs successfully.

Participation roles include the following:

-  Pedagogic presenters: those who submit short documentation of a specific
learning context in which writing analytics could be applied
-  Data presenters: those who provide a salient dataset for discussion of its
properties and potential analyses
-  Analytic presenters: those who provide an analytic technique or tool that
has been developed, along with resources describing particular pedagogic
contexts in which it might be integrated
-  Commentators: those who commit to reading, and responding to, at least one
of the above kinds of submission - note that we welcome commentators with all
backgrounds and levels of experience

Submission Guidelines:

Applications to participate should be submitted via email to
sjgknight at gmail.com  by December 18th

Important Dates:

-  December 18, 2016: Submission deadline
-  January 8, 2017: Notifications of acceptance sent out (prior to earlybird
deadline of January 13th)
-  March 13-17, 2017: LAK17 Conference (Workshop March 14th, full day)
