*CSCL 2017: Call for Papers*


The 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative
Learning

June 18-22, 2017

Drexel University & The University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

Conference theme: Making a Difference — Prioritizing Equity and Access in
CSCL


Computer Supported Collaborative Learning is a premier conference of the
International Society of the Learning Sciences that focuses on the study of
social learning processes with and without technology as well as the
development and evaluation of tools to enhance or improve collective
thinking and learning. The conference is a major international event
bringing together researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds and
research interests including educational technology, design, HCI,
information sciences, educational psychology, museum research, library
science, curriculum and instruction, psychology, computer science,
cognitive science, and many more. We welcome high quality conceptual,
empirical, and theoretical contributions.


This year's conference theme focuses on the need to consider issues such as
equity, access, and inclusion in the design, implementation, and deployment
of computer-supported learning environments. CSCL 2017 will prioritize
keynote speakers, workshops and papers that champion research and tools
focused on equity and access relative to CSCL. Hosted by a diverse
leadership team in the Learning Sciences, the conference will highlight
work that discusses ways to broaden the CSCL pipeline, promotes and/or
celebrates out of the box thinking, or that brings a wide range of
viewpoints or voices to CSCL topics or tools.


Submissions


We are currently seeking submissions for the following:

• Full Papers (8 pages): Full papers are for mature work, requiring lengthy
explanations of the conceptual background, methodology and data and
analysis. Full paper submissions should state: (a) the major issue(s)
addressed, (b) potential significance of the work, (c) the theoretical and
methodological approach(es) pursued, (d) major findings, conclusions,
implications, and (e) relevant scholarly references.

• Short Papers (4 pages): Short papers are for work that makes significant
contributions, but that is still in progress, of smaller scale, or that can
be reported briefly. Otherwise, the same criteria apply as listed for full
papers above.

• Posters (2 pages): Posters are for work in early stages and for novel and
promising ideas. The two page abstract should identify the aspect of the
work that will likely lead to productive discussions with conference
participants in a poster session, including figures exemplifying the visual
support to be provided for these discussions in the poster.

• Symposia (8 pages): Symposia are for conveying larger ideas or results
about a specific issue. Discussion among members of the symposium and with
the audience should be moderated to focus on certain positions or
controversies. We expect symposia to address large issues of interest to
CSCL, particularly those related to this year's conference theme.
