✦ Synopsis

Education is the cornerstone of any society; it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. mis4TEL’23 promotes the interaction among the scientific community to discuss applications of Technology Enhanced Learning solutions targeting not only cognitive and social processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. In addition, current trends concerning the use of artificial intelligence can help and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators.

The 13th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (mis4TEL’23) technical program includes 26 contributions (13 full papers and 13 short papers). mis4TEL’23 is hosted by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho (Portugal). The authors would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA and APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR Institute and Camara Municipal de Guimarães).
