In this paper we investigate the particularities of scientific writing and explore the features and limitations of existing tools for scientific writing. Deriving from this analysis and an online survey of the scientific writing processes of students and researchers at the University of Paderborn, we identify key principles to simplify scientific writing and reviewing.

Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life–learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder.

The recent rise of social media applications in all fields of our social life has also governed scholarly communications. With the socalled Research 2.0, scholars make use of social media to enhance their work and networking activities. On the other hand, those changes may have negative impact on awareness in Research Networks. Especially in the context of scientific events many information sources are used by the stakeholders to interact with each other.

In this paper we argue that the term'awareness' needs to be understood in a broader way when used in the context of networked learning. In Learning Networks, awareness is increasingly related to finding appropriate learning objects, peers and experts or the'right'learning path.

We introduce the concept of Research Networks and discuss Personal Research Environments that exist parallel to Personal Learning Environments in today's modern working realm.

This kind of tools formicro-exchange of information and communication is changing the daily life of knowledgeable worker as well as Internet savvy people. From this perspective this paper aims to show how Twitter can be used during conferences, and furthermore how different people are using it.

We propose building blocks and their concrete implementation to leverage Research 2.0 practice and technologies in our field, including a publication feed format for exchanging publication data, a RESTful API to retrieve publication and Web 2.0 data, and a publisher suit for refining and aggregating data.

Especially in larger groups communication is the critical point in gathering and forming relevant information, share knowledge and create functioning products. Some studies stressed out the fact that informal, ad hoc communication take up a significant part of the developers working time.

The Internet brought new ways of communication technologies to live and enhanced people's reachability, augmented possibilities for personal presence and the sharing of information objects. People are engaging in social networks in a steadily growing manner and share information objects within their communities.

Also we lack a structured overview of awareness and reflections issues that learners are facing in their daily learning activities.

The extant literature on the definition of knowledge work actions is examined and evaluated. The existing classifications of roles of knowledge workers are evaluated and extended with additional literature and empirical findings on the definition of a typology of knowledge worker roles. The empirical data in this paper comes from two studies.

Nearly 600 researchers have contributed about 230 full and short papers on various topics in the domain of Technology Enhanced Learning. In this paper we analyze the contributions of five years of EC-TEL and identify prolific authors, successful co-author-networks and most cited publications.

Science 2.0 is a rather young concept and despite its short history already induced numerous controversial positions, oscillating between new technologies and new practices. Even though many TEL researchers already use Science 2.0 tools, although not always labeled as such, there is no commonly shared practice and tools in use. Within this paper, we investigate the concept of Science 2.0 and propose an embracing definition.

Therefore, the workshop will collect, explore, and present datasets, technologies and applications for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) to discuss Learning Analytics approaches that make use of educational data or Linked Data sources.

Der Fokus des Projekts liegt auf didaktischen, organisatorischen und technischen Frage-und Problemstellungen, die im Zusammenhang mit Szenarien des Blended-Learning und des Knowledge Managements auftreten. In einem projektbasierten Lernansatz werden die Studenten von zwei europäischen Hochschulen auf ihre zukünftige berufliche Arbeit vorbereitet.

Conference management systems (CMSs) have simplified the process and have given decision-support features to the organizers but still there is room for improvements. With the social media movement of the last decade, computer-mediated social interactions and professional networking have also gained importance for scholars.

Open science means opening up the research process by making all of its outcomes, and the way in which these outcomes were achieved, publicly available on the World Wide Web. In our vision, the adoption of open science instruments provides a set of solid and sustainable ways to connect the disjoint communities in TEL.

In diesen klassischen Evaluierungsszenarien werden einmalig pro Semester Umfragebögen an die Studierenden verteilt und anschließend manuell ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse sind dann zumeist am Ende der Vorlesungszeit vorhanden und geben einen punktuellen Einblick in die Qualität der Lehrveranstaltung bis zum Zeitpunkt der durchgeführten Evaluation.

In the context of scientific events and topical Research Networks, researchers use Social Media as one main communication channel. This raises the question how to monitor and analyze such Research Networks. In this chapter, we argue that Artefact-Actor-Networks (AANs) serve well for modeling, storing, and mining the social interactions around digital learning resources originating from various learning services.
