3rd International Workshop on Technologies Assist Teaching and Administration (TATA 2019)
Jointly held in 5th International Conference on Smart Learning Environments, University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA, March 18 to 20, 2019
Workshop Organizer:
Maiga Chang, Athabasca University, Canada
TATA stands for Technologies Assist Teaching and Administration and it aims to introduce technologies that assist parents, teachers and schools (instead of students) and has significant time for giving participants to get their hands on trying the technologies, discussing with researchers and giving researchers their feedback.
The workshop will have accepted workshop papers’ researchers to share and demo their technologies and have three sessions. In the first session, researchers of each accepted workshop paper will introduce the technologies from practical point of views (instead of talking theories, maths, and detailed methods) for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, the workshop gives participants 20 to 25 minutes to really try on the proposed systems and tools. At the end, researchers can further interact with participants in the 10 to 15 minutes discussion section so the participants can share their perceptions, comments, suggestions, and even intention of using the proposed systems and tools with researchers.
All accepted workshop papers need to have their technologies (e.g., systems and tools) ready and open for participants trying in the workshop.
The workshop will be a platform that provides the following benefits for both researchers who present their systems/tools at the workshop and participants who attend the workshop:
- researchers can take this workshop as an Open House event to announce and introduce their latest research outcome for the public;
- participants can clear understand the proposed systems/tools easier since the presentations have no complicated maths/equations and unfamiliar theoretical methods/models;
- researchers have time to live demonstrate their systems/tools;
- participants can put their hands on the introduced systems/tools instead of just listening speeches and see the proposed technologies behind glasses;
- participants can get immediately and direct helps from researchers when they have questions and encounter difficulties while using the introduced systems/tools;
- researchers can get users’ perceptions, comments, suggestions, and feedback during the workshop;
- researchers can further analyze the collected feedback to either make their works better and write follow-up papers for the results;
- researchers can reach potential collaborators who want to use their systems/tools as well as conduct pilots with the researchers together in the near future.
