Subject: [AISWorld] IFIP 9.4 2022 -- Call for panel proposals
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 17:28:29 +0000
From: Pamela Y Abbott <p.y.abbott(a)sheffield.ac.uk>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
*Call for panels: IFIP 9.4 Conference Lima, Peru 2022
<https://ifip.ue.edu.pe/>*
We are inviting proposals for panel presentations on topics relevant to the
IFIP 9.4 community and broadly in keeping with the conference theme:
*Freedom
and Social Inclusion in a Connected World*.
A panel should aim to present a variety of views on a topical issue in the
ICT4D field, to generate debate amongst the panellists and to engage the
audience in that debate. Thus, there should be potential for different
positions to be put forward for the chosen topic and the proposal should
make it clear how the panel will present these different positions. Good
candidates for panel topics would be those arising from controversies,
academic debates, new research agendas, global/geopolitical challenges,
innovations and transformational technological advances and so forth.
The panel proposals will be reviewed by the Programme Chairs taking into
account: a panel topic that will attract an audience, a panel composition
that offers a variety of voices, and a panel format that will encourage
audience participation.
Panel proposals should conform to the following guidelines:
· Maximum of three A4 pages in length, consisting of:
o An introduction to the panel topic demonstrating its importance to the
field
o An exposition of the varying positions held on the topic and how these
engender debate
o A section with short biographies (max. 100 words) of each panellist
o A references section
· Each panel should comprise a moderator and a maximum of 4
panellists
· The panel format should aim to complete all panellists’ debate
and audience engagement in 90 minutes, with at least 30 minutes for
audience engagement
Should the panel proposal be accepted, it would be expected that all
panellists should commit to attending the conference.
Panel proposals should be submitted no later than *14th March 2022* to the
programme chairs, using our email addresses below. Acceptance decisions of
panel proposals will take place on *15th April 2022*.

/*Short Intro*/
After the shock of the pandemic, learning ecosystems – and in particular
schools, universities, and territorial learning communities – all over
the world – are facing a new phase characterized by the search for and
the experimentation of ways to their “*new normality*“. This is within a
world that seeks to protect at best and incentivize the economic
recovery that although relevant is still subjected to enormous risks.
Among the main areas on which most of the industrialized countries and
Europe are focusing on, there are: the transitions towards a green and
circular economy, smart digitization of the production processes, social
innovation, active citizen participation supported by technologies, and,
finally, the education for all. In such a context,*collaboration*is
emerging as an approach and an attitude of considerable relevance that
stays also at the basis of the polyphonic construction of the future of
learning ecosystems.
Alongside/collaboration/, on the technological side, it continues to
rise the relevance of intelligent systems, generically collected under
the label of*Artificial Intelligence*(AI); concurrently, on the
pedagogical side,*competences*have become the goal of future education,
also in the attempt to close the skill gap, which represents one of the
greatest dangers for the transition towards smarter productive systems
and societies.
Competences and AI, by the way, are also topics that intersect and
influence each other and rise questions of*ethical nature*. Last but not
least, they are likely to require an organizational and didactic
revolution of the learning ecosystems, thus requiring to question the
possible consequences in order to build a more adequate future. In turn,
this step requires inspiration from best practices to leverage the
advantage of the growth of individuals and the expectations of the
communities.
What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How “smart
learning ecosystems” are changing? How such changes may be related to
the achievement of “a better learning for a better world
<http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/aslerd/docs/TIMISOARA_DECLARATI…>”
as a contribution to theUnited Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld>?
How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities and, at the
same time, to the empowering of each individual according to his
expectations and talents?
/Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts,
does not simply means “technology enhanced”. The smartness is a more
complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players
operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any
relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning,
especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation.
Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they
are not a “sine qua non”.
The achievement of the learning ecosystems’ smartness is a process that
need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to
understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic
resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen goals.
/*
*//*Topics of interests*/
*SLERD 2022* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and
practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning
the development of smart learning ecosystems and, contributions on how
to build together a brilliant post pandemic future, where smart learning
ecosystems and smart education will be even more central in the
education of future citizens, and in the promotion of social innovation
and territorial development.
can be grouped under three big themes:
/*• places for smart education
*/ *
• future of institutional learning
• interplay between formal and informal learning
• new educational models and settings
• continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes
in learning
• role of, and case studies of, games and gamification in smart education
• dual education and other alternate scheme approaches
• monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution,
city, region)
*
/*• people in place centered design for smart education*/
*
• general frameworks and methodological advances
• design, data and other relevant literacies
• smart citizen’s literacies, skill and competences
• communities and co-design in smart learning
