I have the pleasure to be member of the program committee of the 2nd workshop 2nd on Social Information Retrieval for Technology-Enhanced Learning (SIRTEL).

Topics of interests are (amongst others) Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and Social Information Retrieval (SIR) techniques such as:

• Recommender systems
• Social collaborative searching, browsing and sharing of queries
• Social network analysis
• Game-theoretic approaches to select learning materials and learning partners in the long tail
• Social bookmarking and tagging, folksonomies
• Annotations, ratings and evaluations

You can contribute research papers, system demos, hands-on proposals and even “Pecha Kucha” talks. Sounds like some serious fun!
