LTEC 2019 - 8th International Workshop on Learning Technology for Education Challenges

The conference is preceded by one day of free tutorials for participants who wish to learn state of the art of research relating to the topics of KMO and LTEC. The tutorials will be held on the 15th July 2019. The conference itself commences on the 16th July, 2019.

The 8th International conference on Learning Technology for Education Challenges (LTEC 2019) will be held conjunction with KMO 2019.It will provide the scientific community with a dedicated forum for discussing research and presentation of your work in Learning Technology for Education Challenges (LTEC).
There is a shift in attitude from having a job for life to continuous learning at work. Skills businesses require today are changing. Individuals that succeed in the future will be those who adopt the philosophy of lifelong learning. A continuous learning culture needs to be at the heart of universities and all organisations. Technology is absolutely core to the future of the learning community particularly as we move into the age of the internet of things, Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, smart cities and blockchain.
Businesses must work with universities to provide work experience for students and universities must ensure they produce the employees that businesses want. Host of learning tools are being used as the technology continues to mature, including personalisation, gamification, social media, and micro-learning, which allows students to absorb ideas and lessons in bite-sized information chunks. Artificial intelligence is used to provide intelligent and personal learning for students. Virtual-reality technology is exciting because it allows both educational establishments and employers to prepare people in a far more engaging and realistic way than traditional classroom methods.
Higher Education institutions are changing their roles, from focusing on research and teaching to having focus on research, teaching and more effective learning. It is important to look into teaching and learning approaches that aimed at empowering students to handle their lives during their education and towards an occupational life.
Co-creative processes are a trend that is going to grow in the future, together with the growing of interest in creative solutions for future education and organisation. We must think of universities as an ‘indivisible whole’ in which teaching, research, and social impact work together for the benefits of all: an inclusive system. To achieve this, universities need to partner within their ecosystem to facilitate value creation like the natural ecosystem. This means adopting an e-learning ecosystem.
In today’s digital world, a web of learning resources surrounds every individual. It is an environment where in each resource connects to others, creating an overall structure in which all learning takes place. The e-learning ecosystem is the combination of technologies and support resources available to help individuals learn within an environment. This new revolution focuses on agility and integration of multiple solutions. A learning ecosystem will makes the most of digital transformation using a stack of technology to facilitate learning.
The 8th LTEC (2018) examines how these technologies and pedagogical advances can be used to change the way teachers teach and students learn while giving special emphasis to the pedagogically effective ways we can harness these new technologies in education. The conference seeks contributions that address theory, research, practice and policy; especially those that can also be focused on particular approaches, technologies and domains are most welcome. The aim is to provide a platform for research in the very broad area of educational technology that bridges theory, research, practice and policy. No disciplines and/or approaches are excluded.
This conference will provide the ideal opportunity to present your research to an international audience. It offers participants an overview of the current situation of education and new learning technologies. You will be able to listen to experts from different countries, representing all continents.
LTEC 2019 brings together academic research and practical applications of education from all areas, seeking to bring top research and proven best practices together into one location, for the purposes of helping practitioners find ways to put research into practice, and for researchers to gain an understanding of additional real-world problems. Academic research papers, case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited. We welcome researchers from both industry and academia to submit original results of their works.
If you wish to learn more about how technology and learning theories are influencing education, then do not miss the opportunity to come to LTEC (2019).
