Feedback reports

Draft call for feedback reports

We invite authors to submit a feedback report on the use of ICT in a learning act in either an academic, industrial or institutional context. Feedback reports should concern life-size deployments (future projects or trial schemes will not be considered). Authors should highlight the work carried out, the originality of the experience, the benefits brought by ICTT, learners' opinions, and a critical analysis of the outcome. The "feedback report" selection committee has the same quality requirements as the scientific committee. However, its evaluation will also take into consideration the variety of cultures of submission authors (teacher, trainer, learner, industrialist, outside observer, etc.).

The selection criteria are as follows :

• The presentation of the experience
• The innovative nature of the experience
• The conduct of the experience
• The analysis of ICTT usages
• The final appraisal of the experience
• The editorial quality
• Compliance with the instructions for authors

Writing guidelines for feedback reports

To help authors prepare their reports, we are providing below a list of points that can be covered in the reports submitted. There is no obligation for authors to cover all of these points, especially as, depending on the nature of the experience, some of them will not apply. The points can be covered in a variety of ways, as the author sees fit: as set out below, they do not constitute an article plan. They are points that readers typically expect to find in feedback reports and which therefore merit coverage.

The programme committee will be mindful of the quality of articles and the benefits they bring for the community. It will discard papers that are purely descriptive and of little benefit for conference participants. It will check that authors' proposals cover a number of the points in this list. Articles should be three to six pages long.

• Presentation of the experience (or accomplishment, or project, or system)
  • context and environment
  • goals to be achieved
  • target audience and its needs
  • participants

• Innovative nature of the experience
  • current state of the art
  • history, situation prior to the experience, observation/assessment of the past
  • comparison with equivalent or similar systems/projects
  • originality of the approach

• Conduct of the experience
  • practical conditions for setting up the experience
  • organisation and conditions required to conduct the experience (link with a strategy, management, change management, involvement of the participants and the environment, etc.)
  • technical aspects (types of tools used, technical constraints, etc.)
  • difficulties and barriers encountered, and the solutions provided
  • economic aspects (cost, business model, etc.)
  • conditions in which the experience took place

  • usages and usage for other than intended purpose
  • how the experience was evaluated
  • quantitative and/or qualitative measurements of usages and learning, etc.
  • opinions and feedback from the target audience
  • personal accounts from learners
