The 1st ICCE workshop on
Embodied Learning: Technology Design, Analytics & Practices.
Held in conjunction with International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE 2021)

Newer accounts of cognition and learning, such as 4E (embodied, embedded, extended and enacted) cognition suggest that cognition and learning are grounded in action (Menary, 2010; Newen et al., 2018). Hence learning design and assessment should be grounded in action. However, designing for embodied learning is relatively new within educational technology. Existing work is fragmented and fails to provide concrete design principles (e.g. Lindgren & Johnson-Glenberg, 2013; Malinverni & Peres, 2014; Abrahamson & Lindgren, 2014; Skulmowski & Rey, 2018) . Further, the benefits of embodied learning are attractive yet elusive (Pande, 2020; Skulmovski & Rey, 2018).
In order to realize the hypothesized benefits of embodied learning, it is important to identify the learning mechanisms underlying embodied learning and quantify its benefits. Given the nature of embodied learning systems, it is necessary to use multimodal data to capture all learning interactions such as large and small body movements, speech and eye gaze in order to identify the learning mechanisms (Abrahamson et al, 2020). Analysis of embodied learning scenarios thus becomes challenging but is intricately tied to design and its refinement. The goal of this workshop is to provide an interactive avenue for researchers to discuss a strongly theory-grounded approach to learning, TEL designs, learning analytics and findings related to embodied learning when deployed in various educational settings.
