School, on November 7 and 8, 2013
Registration and deadlines Registration is open now: go to the registration form Registration will close September 15th, 2013. Send in your abstract and paper before October 1, 2013 to c.vonk@vu.nl Location: That is still a surprise, but we hope to tell you all about it in due time... Networking event The ICO National Fall School is a biennial, two-day networking event for all ICO Members: PhDs, Staff and Post Docs. During this event ICO members can - meet, mingle, and learn about the projects of other ICO members, while 2nd and 3rd-year PhD-students can practice their presentation skills in a safe surroundings; - meet kindred research spirits during the Meet-your-Theme Group-lunch; - informally catch up with long lost colleagues at the evening event; - learn more about scientific ethics, or scientific publishing in the workshops; - and, watch the presentations of the PhD-students you supervise! PhD student presentations The focus of the National Fall School is on the ICO PhD-students. Students are given the opportunity to present their project, either in a Junior Presentation (for 2nd year students) or in a Senior Presentation (3rd year students). The Junior Presentation can be either a Poster Presentation, or a Round Table Presentation. The Senior Presentation is a Paper Presentation. More information about the different presentation types can be found on the website, on the pages on Presentations. ICO Staff and Post Doc Members: our discussants and chairs While the students are presenting their work, ICO Staff members and Post Docs that are present will all be given a role, either as chair of a session, or as a discussant. Of course, we will try to give all Staff and Post Docs the opportunity to be present as an auditor at the presentations of the projects they are involved in themselves, either as a promoter or as a supervisor. If you have any special wishes regarding the presentations of your PhD Students you want to witness, please let us know at your registration form. PhD students' role as "discussant" Traditionally, the role of discussant has been fulfilled by ICO Staff Members. To involve the students in de review-process, third and fourth-year PhD-students are asked to join the Staff Members as a discussant. This means that after a presentation a pair, consisting of one Staff Member and one PhD student, will act as a discussant of the paper and presentation. In this manner, senior students can practice their future role as a discussant and interaction between staff members and students will increase. Students can use their discussant experience to fill in one of the Shorter Educational Activities. Auditors We would strongly recommend attending the ICO National Fall School as an Auditor to first year-PhD students. You are warmly invited to join us, in order to meet people from the ICO network, and to learn from all presentations and discussions. Also, when you are not an ICO member, but you have a strong interest in Educational Research, you are welcome to visit the National Fall School. Workshops All visitors to the National Fall School can attend the workshops. In each workshop there will be room for 25 people. More information about the workshops will be available soon Fee day programme: - ICO members: no fee - ICO Alumni: € 25,00 (excluding administration costs, if applicable) - Non-ICO members: € 100,00 (excluding administration costs, if applicable) Fee evening event: ICO members and alumni only: max. € 45,00 (excluding administration costs, if applicable) More information More information can be found on the ICO National Fall School website. In due time the site will be filled with the schedule, more information about the keynote, the workshops, and the various student presentations.

The University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University are joining forces to organize a large writing research event in the summer of 2014. From 27-29 August we are hosting the Conference On Writing Research 2014 in the city of Amsterdam. This conference will be preceded by a two-day research school for junior researchers in Utrecht. We are looking forward to facilitate the gathering of writing researchers from all over the world: established researchers as well as new and upcoming talent. Our aim is to continue the lively discussions on writing research in the tradition of the EARLI SIG Writing Conferences since 1988. Our motto: Writing is fun, writing research is even more fun! Call for contributions Conference On Writing Research 2014 We invite writing researchers to submit both empirical and theoretical proposals for symposia, paper presentations, short presentations, and expert meetings. The scope of the conference is writing in the broadest sense; however, we especially welcome contributions on effective instruction in writing, measuring text quality/writing processes/writing skills, writing in academic and professional contexts, and new forms and definitions of writing like multimodal text. Proposal submission is open from September 1, 2013 to December 15, 2013
Conference formats
Symposia provide an opportunity to present one topic from multiple perspectives. A symposium is proposed by one or two organizers, who select a thematically coherent set of 3 papers and provide a discussant and a chairperson. Contributions combining research from different universities are preferred. Symposia organizers should submit summaries (max 350 words) of the selected papers as well as an abstract (max 350 words) in which they integrate the papers into a coherent framework. A symposium is scheduled for one and a half hours: 20 minutes per speaker (15 minutes presentation, 5 minutes question time), 15 minutes for discussion by the discussant, and 15 minutes for open discussion, moderated by the chairperson. Paper presentations are presentations describing a completed piece of research, including data and results. Theoretical papers can also be submitted for presentation. The submission should describe the research, including results, in no more than 350 words. Paper sessions are grouped in sessions of 4 papers: each presenter is allotted 15 minutes for presenting, followed by 10 minutes for discussion, moderated by a chairperson. Short presentations involve a 5-minute presentation of a completed piece of research or research in progress, followed by individual poster interaction and discussion. The poster (A0 format: 841 mm X 1189mm) provides a visual presentation of the conducted research. Submissions for short presentations should describe the research, including (preliminary) results, in no more than 350 words. Short presentations are thematically grouped in sessions of 6 presentations: after a plenary 5-minute oral presentation of each poster (projected on a screen), there are 30 minutes of individual poster interaction, followed by 30 minutes of plenary discussion, moderated by a chairperson. Research meetings offer opportunities for discussing research issues. Presenters explain their research issue, and participants are invited to discuss this issue. Presenters should submit a summary (max 350 words) of the research in which they clearly state the issue they want to discuss. Expert meetings are scheduled for one and a half hours: presenters are allotted 45 minutes each to explain and discuss their research issue. COWR 2014 Schedule - First call May 10, 2013

 ICLS 2014 (International Conference of the Learning Sciences), to be held in Boulder, Colorado in June 2014 invites proposals aimed at improving our understanding of learning, and improving the design and practices of tools and environments aimed at supporting learning. Papers and symposia may take empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and design based perspectives. The conference theme is “Learning and Becoming in Practice,” foregrounding the ways that learning entails becoming a certain kind of person, and the ways that learning processes are situated within different kinds of practices. We welcome focus on practices encompassing the range of contexts and processes in which people learn, including engagement in the epistemic practices of disciplines, participation in sociocultural practices, and engagement in design. In addition, we welcome focus on practices that pertain to how we organize our own work as learning scientists: the practices for analyzing and modeling learning across settings and time and the practices for designing for scale and sustainability.
