The convergence of current technologies provides the infrastructure for transmitting and storing information faster and cheaper. For information to be used in gaining knowledge, however, environments for collecting, storing, disseminating, sharing, and constructing knowledge are needed. Such environments, knowledge media, bring together telecommunication, computer, and networking technologies, learning theories, and cognitive sciences to form meaningful environments that provide for a variety of learner needs.

ITHET 2021 will have Artificial Intelligence and how it empowers education as its special theme.
