Track description and topics of interest

This track aims at presenting findings and discussing trends on the exploitation of online learning resources, such as online labs, learning applications and guidance tools in STEM education. Furthermore, it aims to tackle issues to ubiquitous and mobile access to online labs, contextual learning analytics and privacy issues, supporting communities as well as evaluation methods. Reports on evaluation results and lessons learned from real-world applications of online labs and STEM apps are encouraged. Finally, this track also considers issues related to the design, development and user evaluation of online labs and STEM apps (e.g. using participatory design or user-centered design).
