The Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) Initiative is a theoretical synthesis effort undertaken by a group of scholars (i.e., the co-chairs and the program committee members of this workshop) from the fields of learning technology, learning sciences and educational psychology in Asia. The intention is to co-construct a holistic developmental framework in which students foster their learning interests, capabilities in creation, and learning habits - the three anchored concepts of IDC Theory - with the support of technology.
This workshop aims to provide a platform for the colleagues involved in the initiative to articulate a synthesized theory of IDC as well as for eliciting responses from other scholars. It will be conducted in mini-conference style and apart from invited papers, interested scholars may submit their papers pertaining to nurturing of either learner’s “Interest”, “Creation” or “Habit” with technology. Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings of ICCE 2015 which will be indexed by Elseiver Bibliographic Databases.

The Format of the Workshop
This workshop consists of the following components:
(1) Invited working papers: The scholars involved in the IDC Initiative will collectively submit and present 4 working papers that cover various aspects of the IDC Theory. This will serve as a means to prototype the IDC Theory. Authors of each paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation (including Q&A).
(2) Invited response papers: The IDC Initiative will invite 3-5 international scholars to read the invited working papers and submit 2-page response papers. Authors of each paper will be given 5 minutes for presentation.
(3) Open call for papers: Other researchers or students may submit papers pertaining to the above-stated topics to the workshop, which will be subject to peer reviews. Authors of each accepted paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation (including Q&A).
(4) Open discussion.
Papers of types (1), (2) and (3) will be published in the workshop proceedings.
Open Call for Papers
This workshop invites submissions of conceptual or empirical papers on the investigations or nurturing of learners’ interests OR creative activities OR habits, in the context of formal or informal learning, with (or without) the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The authors may either frame their papers according to the IDC Theory or offer alternative interpretations on interest/creation/habit in order to stimulate discussion. The scope of the call for papers will cover but not be limited to:
· Theoretical/conceptual reviews on “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning
· Design of technological/learning environments and/or pedagogies to promote and optimize “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning
· Understanding the ecological (i.e., systemic, pedagogical, epistemological, technological, and/or social) conditions that facilitate or hinder the promotion of “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning
· Roles and development of teachers and/or parents in facilitating “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning
· Evaluation or measurement of learners’ “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning (e.g., questionnaire studies)
· Community and cultural aspects of “interest”, “creation” and/or “habit” in learning (e.g., collaborative learning, identity formation, etc.)
