Brief Bio
She’s an associate professor and Researcher of Computer Sciences at the Higher Institute of Computer Sciences and Communication Technologies, University of Sousse, Tunisia, and a graduate of the University of Braunschweig in Germany where she read for an engineer and master’s degree in Computer Sciences. She is a member of the PRINCE Research Lab at the University of Sousse and was associate researcher at the Computer Science department at Telecom Bretagne, Brest in France. Her PhD was realized in collaboration with the Semantic Web group at the Institute of Information Systems of the University of Hannover in Germany. She has also a diploma of « Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches » (HDR) in Computer Sciences. She had two awards: First National Prize for Academic Excellence (Foreign Degrees) of the President of the Tunisian Republic (July 1998) and a Graduate Merit Award of the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, for the best results in Computer Science and Mathematics degrees at the university (October 1997). Her research interests include Technology Enhanced Learning, Semantic Web, E-assessment and Elearning. She is associated as Technology Enhanced Learning Expert with many national and international organizations (VUT, AUF, ILO, ISCESCO, OIF). She is involved, as part of her ongoing research, in several e-learning projects and has co-authored various online courses. She is coauthor of the first Computer Sciences MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in Computer Sciences in Tunisia, hosted on FUN (France Université Numérique) for two sessions in 2015 and 2016. She led the online learning department at her University and is currently coordinator of Pedagogical Innovation and Digital Learning Unit at her University.

SCOPE

The high volume of information in organizations has led researchers to focus on knowledge management as a form of competitive and success leverage. The interest in KM for the educational domain has been growing in recent years as a strategic planning for its sustainable development. The use of the KM in education can lead for instance to develop strategies to improve teaching effectiveness and student retention, making decisions, analyze the importance of social media and games in learning, generate exam’s questions from text files, or provide student guidance. For this edition, we welcome submissions reporting original research that explores how KM technologies can solve problems related to the management and analysis of educational information in academic or professional learning institutions

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Recommender systems in educational domain
  • Educational knowledge management and ontologies 
  • Educational data mining 
  • Educational linked data and semantic web 
  • Knowledge acquisition, extraction and reuse in education 
  • Artificial intelligence, robotics and human-computer interaction in education 
  • Natural Language Processing to improve educational effectiveness 
  • Providing feedback to teachers and other stakeholders generated from EKM methods 
  • Learner or student modelling 
  • Learning analytics 
  • Smart learning environments 
  • Assessment analytics 
  • Educational information systems 
  • Improving educational software 
  • Practice learning experiences and techniques 
  • Evaluating and improving teachers' support 
  • Educational knowledge evolution 
  • Social media and games in learning 
  • Experiences and examples of the use of KM in education 
  • Global issues in education and research 
  • Visualization of student
