November, 27th - EC-TEL 2015 Theme defined
The overall theme of EC-TEL 2015 will be Design for Teaching and Learning in a Networked World.
Developments in information and communication technology, for example new communication patterns like in social applications, mobile devices and ubiquitous network access, together with social and economical changes lead to a networked world. The increasing networking in different scales from global to local is having a profound effect on learning and teaching. It makes new forms of collaborative and personalized learning experiences reality. Learners shift between formal, non-formal and informal learning. They come together in different social settings and communities. Teachers roles are also subject to change.
There is a pressing need to shape learning arrangements in such a way that they exploit the potentials and meet the requirements of a networked world. To address these challenges the theme of EC-TEL 2015 is "Design for Teaching and Learning in a Networked World".
September, 19th - EC-TEL 2015 will take place in Toledo, Spain
Next EC-TEL will take place in Toledo, Spain, in the week September, 15th till 18th, 2015. Call for paper and details will be announced during October.
