INTRODUCTION:

Mission: http://aace.org/conf/glearn/mission.htm

Global Learn Asia Pacific is an annual, international conference organized by the Association for the
Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE). The conference will be guided by a respected,
international Executive Committee, primarily from countries of the Asia Pacific region. ( http://aace.org/conf/glearn/committeeEC.htm )
