6th International Workshop on Personalization Approaches in Learning Environments (PALE 2016) Preface

Personalization approaches in learning environments are crucial to foster effective, active, efficient, and satisfactory learning. The focus of the PALE workshop series is on the different and complementary perspectives in which personalization can be addressed in learning environments (e.g., informal, workplace, lifelong, mobile, contextualized, and self-regulated learning) and offers an opportunity to present and discuss a wide spectrum of issues and solutions. In particular, this sixth edition includes 12 papers dealing with emotional engagement, affective states, personality, deep learning and complex skills, learning analytics and recommendations, educational data mining, lifelong learning, open learner models, as well as adaptive MOOCs.
