Session details: WEBED'16

ABSTRACTIt is our great pleasure to welcome you to the ACM WWW2016 Workshop on Web Science and Technology for Education (WebED2016), co-located with the 2016 International WWW Conference. This workshop series began as The Workshop on Web-based Education Technologies (WebET) at WWW2014 in Seoul, Korea. However, this year's workshop has expanded its scope to explore the influence the growing field of Web Science. By doing so it is our goal to bring together educational technologists, Web researchers, and members of social science communities seeking to investigate the impact of Web technology on teaching and learning. The mission of the workshop is for attendees to share novel solutions that fulfill the needs of heterogeneous applications and environments and identify new directions for future research and development. It is also our hope that WebED2016 attendees might identify others with similar interests possibly leading to new collaborations and joint efforts. We encourage workshop attendees to attend the keynote speaker presentation, the accepted paper presentations, and the expert panel discussion.
