Call for
Papers
Deadline: 5 February 2013
Amongst the
preparation for Christmas and maybe during the
restful period of the end-of-year we hope you
will find a bit of time to think over the EDEN
Oslo 2013 Annual Conference themes and
proposals. The deadline of the submission is 5
February 2013.
Invitation
E-learning, open and
distance education have been important fields of
intellectual excitement and innovative
development. Challenges posed by the new
technologies are permanent, and students
constantly keep teachers under pressure to
develop.
Learning is becoming
more and more individualized and self-managed.
Individual and collective motivation,
enhancement of the learning experience, and an
overall improvement of learning quality are
gaining ever-increasing traction.
How can we
do our best to make learning a thrilling
experience for learners, including providing a
sense of joy in the virtual classroom?
The EDEN
2013 Conference will discover and present the
latest best practice in this field, share
progressive concepts, inventive solutions, and
promote joint-thinking and collaboration.
Discussion and debate
will provide a range of innovative theories and
approaches about the smart use of ICT tools, new
methodologies for enhanced learning experience,
content management systems, or fascinating
solutions supported by game based learning,
immersive environments, multimedia, etc.
Online and Social
The 2013 Annual
Conference will be supported and accompanied
intensively by social networking, sharing,
online and virtual presence and involvement
possibilities.
The EDEN Oslo Facebook
group is already active!
Call for Contributions
We invite for the
conference proposals for paper
presentations in parallel sessions,
posters, workshops, and short
demonstrations that relate to
the conference themes.
Submissions will be
double peer reviewed by the Conference
Committee. Accepted contributions will be
published in the electronic Conference
Proceedings with ISBN and their summary in the
printed Book of Abstracts.
For details visit the
conference website

Keynote Speakers
Two great keynotes
already confirmed their presence in Oslo: Professor
Sugata Mitra, Newcastle University - you
know, the Hole
in the Wall story! - and Bernie
Luskin, President for the Media Psychology
Division of the American Psychological
Association.
There are nowadays
momentous developments with the European Union
new generation education programmes, thus we
have also invited Pierre Mairesse, Director the
Commission Directorate-General Education and
Culture and Kristin Clemet, Former Minister of
Education, Norway. Our Norwegian hosts are keen
to gain over a high level representative of the
Norwegian Nobel Committee to speak which would
be also great.
