EDEN 2019 Annual Conference Bruges – First Keynotes Announced

An update from this European-based conference.

EDEN 2019 Annual Conference: #EDEN19 Connecting Through Educational Technology In search for contemporary learning environments Submission Deadline Approaching – 4 February First Keynotes Announced Bruges, Belgium, 16-19 June 2019 CONFERENCE HOME | CALL | CONFERENCE TRACKS SUBMISSION | REGISTRATION | VENUE

Invitation EDEN is pleased to announce its 28th Annual Conference hosted by the VIVES University of Applied Sciences in Bruges 16-19 June 2019. CONNECTING THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY In search for contemporary learning environments How can information and communication technology in the age of Industry 4.0 create and enhance synergies between online learning programmes, the increased diversity of stakeholders, the workplace experience, socio-cultural influences and students’ work-life balance? To transform the education landscape, challenges come increasingly from the socio-cultural-economic, structural and policy fields. Education has to be visionary to reach efficiency gains, new sources – and to offer sustainable services, reflecting the complexity of modern societies. Market realities and social responsibility put similar pressures on the corporate and University worlds. Stakeholders expect academia to respond to needs beyond teaching and research, better promote innovation and the knowledge economy, manage the new student populations. Universities are expected to detect and attract talents, be magnet of inputs from practitioners, resulting cooperative surplus. Educational technologies are about connections among information, knowledge, action, emotion and value: knowledge construction, learning activities by sharing and thinking, interactivity, aggregative mechanisms, cooperation and integration – to meet the requirements of the knowledge age, to satisfy the needs of social transformation and learning innovation. The question remains: Which one(s) of these will have significant and sustained impact in the future? Can the network society become an enhanced learning society? Conference Tracks For the EDEN 2019 Annual Conference, the major tracks set-up will be: Global connections: How to organise online study programmes that enhance the students’ international competences, provide connections with international partners and promote virtual mobility? Connections with workplace: How can innovative study programmes be developed to involve the workplace impact and experience (virtual dual learning, (distance/digital) internships)? Connections with the community: How to organise study programmes that focus on relations of curriculum, delivery and the socio-economic environment – like community service learning, social partnerships, interdisciplinary projects? Connections with learners: caring about the work-life balance of the students, attentive to learners’ needs, expectations and the changing behaviour of diverse student populations including career, other studies, family-life. Call for Contributions Contributions are invited which resulted from own research, project achievements, case studies, theoretic and conceptual work onthe conference theme and tracks and the creative use of educational technology. Submissions, taking into account the conference theme and related to at least one of the conference tracks are welcome in paper, poster, workshop or panel discussion session and demonstration/technical presentation formats. Networking and interactivity, sharing and discussion will be core aspects of the conference, focusing on what you can learn from and with your peers. Join the conference in Bruges to share your research, projects and experienceto make the conference showroom of best ideas and cases!
