Towards the end of the calendar year, with the
peaceful winter holidays approaching, we hope
you will find time and inspiration to consider
how you could add value to the content offerings
of the EDEN
2018 Annual Conference.
Invitation
 Stretching the boundaries remains
our focus
The demand
for people with new, enhanced skills is growing.
Pressure is on all players of the online
education community to keep up with new learning
solutions, and better supply the skills
currently demanded by growing economies.
Digital
credentials and open badges are the new
currencies which are beginning to transform the
economic models in education. Social and
economic tensions continue to raise the issues
of scalability, the micro-credentialling of
education, training and skill development
processes.
Micro, meso
and macro aspects provide an interesting range
of lenses for considering the problem.
Navigating these dimensions are the reshaping of
digital pedagogy and online instructional
design; and social elements including digital
societal mechanisms and the position of the
individual in our new era. We have need of
systematic awareness and research in the
critical are of sustainable socio-cultural
aspects as they relate to learning. Read

Conference Venue: Genova, Italy
Genoa
(Genova) is a port city and the capital of
northwest Italy's Liguria region. It's known for
its central role in maritime trade over many
centuries. In the old town stands the Romanesque
Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its
black-and-white-striped facade and frescoed
interior. Narrow lanes open onto monumental
squares like Piazza de Ferrari, site of an
iconic bronze fountain and Teatro Carlo Felice
opera house.
The city's
once-tatty port area now hosts museums and a
number of eating and drinking options. Its old
town, too, has had its own far more organic
revitalisation, with a bright new crop of
fashionable shops, restaurants and bars lighting
the way.
The conference is hosted by the University
of Genova
