*** Call for Papers EC-TEL 2016 ***
The 11th European Conference on Technology-­Enhanced Learning
13-16 September 2016, Lyon, France
http://www.ec-tel.eu

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) engages researchers, practitioners, educational developers, entrepreneurs and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. This year’s theme of ‘Adaptive and Adaptable Learning’ highlights developments in adaptive learning systems that are starting to realise the vision of education matched to the needs and interests of each learner. Effective technology enhanced learning must also be adaptable – resilient, flexible, and sustainable despite rapidly changing needs, technologies, contexts and policies.

The conference will explore how research in collaborative and personalized learning can be combined with new developments in analytics, interaction design, mobile and ubiquitous technologies, and visualization techniques, to enhance learning for everyone. We call for papers addressing the conference themes, informed by theories of pedagogy and evidence of effective practice. Papers offering robust meta-analyses, new methods of TEL design and analysis are also welcomed.
