Where Are We and Where Do We Want to Go?

In the last years, there is a rising interest in exploratory learning environments, due to their positive effects on learning. However, their lack of structure makes the provision of intelligent support and feedback a very challenging problem. This workshop tries to shed some light on several of the aspects of this complicated issue. This preface makes a summary of all topics to be discussed, as well as the innovative methodology that will be used.
