Understanding Digital Wellbeing within Complex Technological Contexts - special issue

by Luigi De Russis

International Journal of Human-Computer Studies Special Issue on Understanding Digital Wellbeing within Complex Technological Contexts https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-human-computer-s… <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-human-computer-s…> Submission deadline: February 15, 2022 Nowadays, there is a growing — yet debated — discussion around the negative aspects of overusing technology, with many people that feel conflicted about the amount of time they spend on their devices. In this context, researchers and practitioners have started to consider a new kind of psychological digital wellbeing, giving rise to the flourishing of digital self-control tools (DSCTs), i.e., external applications that support users in self-regulating their technology use through interventions like timers and lock-out mechanisms. Currently, the digital wellbeing topic is nearly always contextualized to consider single technological sources at a time, with a prevalence of studies and DSCTs that focus on smartphones only. As many people nowadays own (and use) several devices, however, there is a need to better understand their complex and overlapping use (and non-use), and the relationships to other people’s digital wellbeing. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industry research communities a venue for work at the state-of-the-art on digital wellbeing and DSCTs, with a particular focus on digital wellbeing within complex technological contexts. Topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to: - Critical and systematic reviews in the area of digital wellbeing and/or DSCTs - Evidence-based work that challenges and expands current definitions of digital wellbeing - Novel approaches and methodologies to overcome the contemporary single-device characterization of digital wellbeing - Digital wellbeing for under-served, under-resourced, and under-represented populations around the world - Data collection strategies, algorithms, interventions or evaluations for multi-device DSCTs - Multitasking and digital wellbeing - Strategies and tools for measuring digital wellbeing in a multi-device setting - Responsibility and role of tech companies and/or government - Social, educational, and political factors related to digital wellbeing. Important Dates ----------------------- Manuscript submission due: February 15, 2022 First round notification: April 15, 2022 Revised manuscript due: May 15, 2022 Final decision made: June 20, 2022 Final Manuscript Due: July 1, 2022 Publication Date: Late 2022 Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Authors need to follow the manuscript format and allowable number of pages described at: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-human-computer-s… <https://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-human-computer-s…>.

First CfP SLERD 2022 - 7th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development

by Carlo Giovannella

/Apologies for unintended cross-mailing/ ========================================================= *7th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development** * *2022:**TOWARDS THE POLYPHONIC CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW NORMALITY* *July 5-6, 2022* /*Bucharest, Romania (blended)*/ slerd.uniroma2.it <http://slerd.uniroma2.it/> Contacts: 1st: traian[dot] rebedea[at] cs[dot] pub[dot] ro /(conference chair)/ or mihai [dot] dascalu [at] upb [dot] ro 2nd: aslerd [dot] org [at] gmail [dot] com ========================================================= Deadline for paper submission: *March 31, 2022 *call for papers <http://slerd.uniroma2.it/call-for-papers/> *========================================================= * *SLERD 2022* is organized by /University Politehnica of Bucharest /in collaboration with /ASLERD/ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASLERD>/./ * Please Note: The intention of the organizing committee is to hold SLERD 2022 as a hybrid conference with the possibility to alternatively attend it physically or virtually. If the pandemic is not attenuated, SLERD will take place in a fully blown virtual conference format such as the previous two editions of SLERD. * /*Short Intro*/ After the shock of the pandemic, learning ecosystems – and in particular schools, universities, and territorial learning communities – all over the world – are facing a new phase characterized by the search for and the experimentation of ways to their “*new normality*“. This is within a world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks. Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and, finally, the education for all. In such a context,*collaboration*is emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable relevance that stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of the future of learning ecosystems. Alongside/collaboration/, on the technological side, it continues to rise the relevance of intelligent systems, generically collected under the label of*Artificial Intelligence*(AI); concurrently, on the pedagogical side,*competences*have become the goal of future education, also in the attempt to close the skill gap, which represents one of the greatest dangers for the transition towards smarter productive systems and societies. Competences and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and influence each other and rise questions of*ethical nature*. Last but not least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn, this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the communities. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of “a better learning for a better world <http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>” as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) <https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities and, at the same time, to the empowering of each individual according to his expectations and talents? /Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation. Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they are not a “sine qua non”. The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals. /* *//*Topics of interests*/ *SLERD 2022* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning the development of smart learning ecosystems and, contributions on how to build together a brilliant post pandemic future, where smart learning ecosystems and smart education will be even more central in the education of future citizens, and in the promotion of social innovation and territorial development. can be grouped under three big themes: /*• places for smart education */ * • future of institutional learning • interplay between formal and informal learning • new educational models and settings • continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes in learning • role of, and case studies of, games and gamification in smart education • dual education and other alternate scheme approaches • monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region) * /*• people in place centered design for smart education*/ * • general frameworks and methodological advances • design, data and other relevant literacies • smart citizen’s literacies, skill and competences • communities and co-design in smart learning • sharing & participatory practices • open access to any resource and disparity • cultural influences * /*• supportive learning technologies for smart education*/ * • intelligent tutoring systems and interfaces • semantic web technologies and applications • text/opinion mining and sentiment analysis • real/virtual communities and social network analysis • interoperability and application of open/smart data and services • safety & security in education • IoT, ubiquitous and wearable technologies • adaptability to educational contexts and citizens • role of VR in education * ========================================================= /*Important dates:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for papers submission: *March**31, 2022* • Notification to the authors: April 30, 2022 • Camera ready paper: May 15, 2022 • Conference: July 5-6, 2022 ========================================== /*Submissions:*/ --------------------------------------------------------- SLERD welcomes short (max. 8 pages) and long contributions (max. 12 pages).
