o Identifying strategies for gaining access to workplace learning research sites.
o Key design principles for CSCL@Work – How can tools and methods of the recent CSCL-research be transformed to be applicable for CSCL@work?
o What is the nature of learning in a CSCL@Work setting and is this different from learning in schools?
o Didactical designs for CSCL@Work enhanced by mobile devices
o Learning design approaches to enhancing CSCL@Work including design patterns
o Development methodologies for CSCL@Work

SUBMISSION
We invite different types of contributions ranging from work in progress, demonstrations and results from research and practice, academia and businesses. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as extended abstracts (max. 3 pages). It should include description of the theoretical concept, including a definition of CSCL@Work, learning and the computer support ( e.g., Social Media, mobile devices), underlying presented work and empirical research results (if available). Since the approach is interdisciplinary, the workshop seeks to attract different participants, including students, research in companies, designers, practitioners and developers. Papers reviewed and selected by the Program Committee will be published on this website www.csclatwork.org
Please send an extended abstract to the workshop organizers:
