European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (ECTEL) 2024
September 16-20, 2024
Krems an der Donau, Austria
https://ea-tel.eu/ectel2024/
Deadline for submission of abstracts: March 15, 2024
The European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (ECTEL) engages researchers, practitioners, educational developers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. ECTEL 2024 will take place on 16-20 September 2024 in Krems, Austria with the theme “What is the role of TEL to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all?” ECTEL 2024 will be a face-to-face conference.
In a world undergoing rapid transformation due to technological advancements (e.g., Generative Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Connectivity Technologies), the education landscape is also expanding with new possibilities. However, these advancements bring complex challenges, including effective adoption of technology in educational settings, ethical concerns, and the possible digital divide these technologies could create. Therefore, the theme for the 2024 conference aims to investigate the role of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal for education: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
This year’s conference explores the role of TEL within this critical context. We invite submissions that enhance our comprehension of how TEL can promote an equitable, high-quality education for all. Topics of interest include but are not limited to strategies for strengthening digital/AI literacy, facilitating lifelong learning, improving accessibility, and mitigating the digital divide issue. We are interested in papers that not only explore the adoption of emerging technologies for enhancing the educational experience but also explore the limitations of these technologies and undertake investigations in different learning environments and cross-cultural settings. In alignment with the focus on sustainability in past ECTEL conferences, we also welcome papers that offer insights into the scalable and sustainable deployment of these technologies.
We invite submissions through research papers, demonstrations, posters, and workshops. In addition, a doctoral consortium will be organised to run concurrently with the workshops, offering a platform for doctoral candidates to present and discuss their research.
The topics of interest are grouped into the following seven blocks:
- Pedagogical and theoretical underpinning of educational technologies
- Technologies used for learning
- Individual, social, and organisational learning processes
- Ethics, privacy, regulations and policies
- Learning communities and contexts
- Global teaching and learning
- Quality education for underrepresented groups
SUBMISSION FORMATS
- RESEARCH PAPERS: 8-15 pages (including references), published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings. No matter the length, research papers are expected to be mature research contributions to the field of technology-enhanced learning. ECTEL 2024 research papers need to consider both technology and learning.
- POSTER PAPERS: 4-6 pages (including references), published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings. Poster Papers report on significant work-in-progress research and developments. Theoretical and practice-oriented contributions are welcomed.
- DEMONSTRATION PAPERS: 4-6 pages (including references), published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings. Demonstration papers are expected to describe innovative TEL applications, practices and prototypes aligned with the conference theme and topics.
- WORKSHOP PROPOSALS: online form, not published in proceedings. Workshops provide a venue for community building and idea generation for emerging research topics to groups of like-minded researchers and practitioners, further elaborating on how learning technologies can contribute to effective education. Workshop submissions will be handled independently by workshop organisers, specific instructions are available on the website.
- DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS: 5-10 pages (including reference), submitted for publication in CEUR DC Proceedings. The Doctoral Consortium is an exceptional opportunity for PhD candidates to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere.
