> Call for Papers and Participation 
> ======================== 
> Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been incorporated into the curriculum
> of Computer Science degree schemes for a number of years now at both
> undergraduate and graduate levels. The field of AI encompasses a
> number of sub-disciplines including machine learning, constraint
> satisfaction, search, agents and multi-agent systems, reasoning,
> natural language engineering and processing to mention just a few.
> Despite the fact that the underlying research areas have developed
> over the years, teaching artificial intelligence and related topics
> presents a number of problems such as a heavy influence of one's own
> research expertise and specialization in deciding the content of such
> courses and a lack of standard methodologies and tools that
> practitioners can employ for teaching topics in this area. The aim of
> this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners that
> are interested in the teaching and education aspect of the field. 
> Researchers, practitioners and educators both from within and outside
> the UK are invited to contribute to and participate in the workshop.
> Scope 
> The workshop will address issues specific to teaching AI and AI in
> education including, but not restricted to: 
> * innovative approaches to learning and teaching AI 
> * approaches for improving the students' learning experience
> (Undergraduate and/or Graduate) 
> * incorporating AI research into AI courses 
> * the integration of theory and practice 
> * tools for supporting teaching and learning AI 
> * using AI in teaching other courses 
> * AI applications to assist in class instruction 
> Papers relating to any sub-discipline of AI are welcome. Contributions
> will be reviewed based on their appropriateness of subject matter,
> originality and quality, clarity of presentation and analysis of the
> reported approaches.
> Format 
> The workshop will be a mixture of presentations and open discussions
> of the attendees. 
> Paper submissions and expressions of interest 
> Please send paper submissions, which should not exceed 10 pages in
> length, by email to Maria Fasli (mfasli at essex.ac.uk) with the subject
> line "AI in Education submission", no later than 20th October 2008.
> Submissions in Word or pdf format are preferred. Authors should use
