CFP Learnersourcing: Student Generated Content@Scale WorkShop at Learning@Scale 2022

[Norman L Bier]

Open Colleagues:

I’m writing to share a call for proposals for Learnersourcing (Student Generated Content) for this years L@S conference. 

The workshop is being chaired by Steven Moore, who was part of the 2019-20 OER Research Fellows class.   One of the major vehicles for his ongoing work in learner sourcing has been the CELL project: Community Sourced, Data-Driven Improvements to Open, Adaptive Courseware (https://calearninglab.org/project/community-sourced-data-driven-improvements-to-open-adaptive-courseware/).  Ongoing conversations in the open education community around non-disposable assignments and greater student-involvement in OER development were a major input into and inspiration for this project.

The workshop is a great example of long-term, ongoing research into OER and Open Approaches, and may be of interest to many of you — take a look!

Kind Regards,

Norman Bier

Hello,

 

I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you can share this call in your circles.

 

We are excited to invite you to the first Learnersourcing: Student Generated Content @ Scale workshop at Learning @ Scale 2022 this year! Please consider submitting your work.

 

# Learnersourcing: Student Generated Content @ Scale

This workshop at L@S 2022 is a unique venue to showcase work and initiatives related to learnersourcing and crowdsourcing in education. Submissions for this workshop are short, consisting of 1 or 2 pages. We invite you to share the ways in which you involve students in the generation, evaluation, and curation of content within your research, practice, or education. You can also share different strategies you have employed to navigate challenges in this area, including the sharing of content and methods to elicit high quality contributions. We welcome broad participation and hope to start a discussion around improving learnersourcing efforts. For more details, please check out the workshop website found here.

# About Learnersourcing: Student-generated Content @ Scale

The first annual workshop on Learnersourcing: Student-generated Content @ Scale is taking place at Learning @ Scale 2022. This hybrid workshop will expose attendees to the ample opportunities in the learnersourcing space, including instructors, researchers, learning engineers, and many other roles. We believe participants from a wide range of backgrounds and prior knowledge on learnersourcing can both benefit and contribute to this workshop, as learnersourcing draws on work from education, crowdsourcing, learning analytics, data mining, ML/NLP, and many more fields!  Additionally, as the learnersourcing process involves many stakeholders (students, instructors, researchers, instructional designers, etc.), multiple viewpoints can help to inform what future student-generated content might be useful, new and better ways to assess the quality of the content, and spark potential collaboration efforts between attendees. We ultimately want to show how everyone can make use of learnersourcing and have participants gain hands-on experience using these tools, creating their own learnersourcing activities using them or their own platforms, and take part in discussing the next challenges and opportunities in the learnersourcing space. Our hope is to attract attendees interested in scaling the generation of instructional and assessment content and those interested in the use of online learning platforms. 

 

Regards

Steven Moore
