Educational Natural Language Processing (e-NLP) aims at
finding new applications of Natural Language Processing for educational purposes, and developing new techniques and software taking into account the specific needs in the educational domain.
We especially focus on NLP applications for eLearning 2.0, which is characterized by a worldwide learning community where educational material is produced both by students and teachers. This brings about new challenges for NLP since the amount of user-generated discourse and social media content such as wikis and blogs is constantly growing and requires intelligent automatic processing.
