IMHE 2020 : First International Workshop on Intelligence Support for Mentoring Processes in Higher Education

Mentoring is the activity of a senior person (the mentor) sharing domain knowledge to a less experienced person (the mentee). Mentoring support is based on a trustful, protected and private atmosphere between the mentor and the mentee. The goal is to develop a professional identity and to reflect the current situation. At universities, mentors are senior academics or skilled employees while mentees are mostly students with different competences. Intelligent tutoring systems have a long tradition, focusing on cognitive aspects of learning in a selected domain. They were successfully applied especially in such areas, where the domain knowledge can be well formalised with the help of experts. Nevertheless, in the learning process also motivations, emotions and meta-cognitive competences play a crucial role. These can be nowadays quite well recognised and monitored through big educational data and a wide spectrum of available sensors. This enables the support also for the mentoring process, which is more spontaneous, holistic and depends on the needs and interests of the mentee.

Psychological and emotional support are at the heart of the mentoring relationship, underpinned by empathy and trust. Various roles and success factors for mentoring have been identified as well.

We want to look at these aspects and investigate how they were technologically supported, in order to specify the requirements for intelligent mentoring systems. This should help us to answer the following questions: How can we design educational concepts that enable a scalable individual mentoring in the development of competences? How can we design intelligent mentoring systems to cover typical challenges and to scale up mentoring support in universities? How can we design an infrastructure to exchange data between universities in a private and secure way to scale up on the inter-university level. How can we integrate heterogeneous data sources (learning management systems, sensors, social networking sites) to facilitate learning analytics supporting mentoring processes?

IMHE 2020 : First International Workshop on Intelligence Support for Mentoring Processes in Higher Education will take place in Athens, Greece. It’s a 5 days event starting on Jun 08, 2020 (Monday) and will be winded up on Jun 12, 2020 (Friday).
