Re-Imagining Learning Environments - #eden16
Call for Submission – EDEN Annual Conference 2016, Budapest
The powerful combination of the ’information age’ and the disruption caused by unstable environments provides the impetus to look afresh and identify new models and approaches for education. In the 25th Anniversary Year of EDEN, the 2016 Annual Conference (#eden16) to take place in Budapest, Hungary on 14-17 June 2016, invites submissions to evaluate and invent better responses to changing socio-economic demands, the functioning of institutions, new tools and their usability, collaborative learning cultures, digital pedagogy, and more. Networking and interactivity, sharing, and discussion will be core aspects of the conference experience, focusing on what one can learn from and with peers.
Join the Conference in Budapest to tell about your research, projects and experience! Submissions are welcome in paper, poster, workshop, training, demonstration, and synergy formats and need to be received before February 1, 2016. Synergy strand submissions are accepted before February 29. Conference publications include the electronic Conference Proceedings of double peer reviewed accepted conference submissions and the CC licensed Book of Abstracts.
Context: The powerful combination of the "information age" and the consequent disruption caused by these unstable environments provides the impetus to look afresh and identify new models and approaches for education (e.g. OERs, MOOCs, PLEs, Learning Analytics etc.). For learners this has taken a fantastical leap into aggregating, curating and co-curating, and coproducing outside the boundaries of formal learning environments - the networked learner is sharing voluntarily and for free, spontaneously with billions of people.
The EDEN Annual Conferences host the latest developments of learning with ICTs, open and distance learning, and education. Academics and professionals discuss research, projects, and experiences related to the conference themes. High quality keynote speakers engage participants with paper and poster presentations and meaningful and collaborative workshops. The groundbreaking Synergy Strand ensures high visibility, inspiring an exchange of experiences and a wide presentation platform for research and practice alike.
