From 16.-17.September, the EuroPLOT project organised the International Workshop on EuroPLOT Persuasive Technology for Learning, Education and Teaching (IWEPLET) 2013 in Paphos (Cyprus), in conjunction with the EC-TEL conference.
The workshop was divided into two parts: on the first day the focus was on the EuroPLOT project itself, with individual presentations of the work package leaders. The workshop was opened by Janet Finlay who gave an account about how the EuroPLOT project was established in 2009/2010 and how the team came together in preparing the proposal to the EACEA. It was then followed by presentations given by members of the EuroPLOT team. The talks covered the theoretical foundations, the tool development, the implementation of persuasive design in four case studies, and the evaluation of the results. A discussion with an outlook followed. Unfortunately BJ Fogg was not able to appear online as originally scheduled.
The second day was devoted to papers which showed work with scope beyond EuroPLOT. Presenters came from as far as Canada and Ghana. There were 11 papers presented, covering Persuasive Design, Assessment and Learning Success, Technologies, and Application Domains.
The proceedings are available online: on the website http://www.iweplet2013.eu/program are links to the whole proceedings volume, as well as to individual papers.
The project EuroPLOT aims at developing a framework and tools for persuasive learning objects. It is funded by EACEA Lifelong Learning Programme by the European Commission.
