EC-TEL is the premier European-wide gathering of experts from academia, industry and practice in the area of technology enhanced learning and e-learning. It attracts several hundred delegates from Europe and beyond over the course of almost a full week.

This is the first time that this conference has been held in the UK and we’re delighted to host it here at the University.

The theme of this year’s conference is Lifelong technology enhanced learning: Dealing with the complexity of 21st century challenges.

The main conference will be held on 5 and 6 September and has an exciting programme including three highly respected keynote speakers: Professor Allison Littlejohn, David Wortley and Professor Carolyn P. Rosé. Their talks together will cover technology enhanced learning (TEL) opportunities and issues related to professional learning, lifelong learning and the disruptive impact on education and beyond.

The programme will also include the presentation and discussion of peer-reviewed research and practice work by more than 80 international researchers and educators. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

The conference will also include highly interactive sessions, such as the Demo Shootout, ePoster Barcamp and industry pitches. Projects and technologies will also be demonstrated in the exhibition area during lunch breaks.

This year also introduces a track focussed specifically on the use of TEL in healthcare education, bringing healthcare professionals, educators, managers and technology developers together to discuss the opportunities for technology to enhance healthcare education and practice. This track will run on Wednesday 5 September.

There are also a wide range of pre-conference workshops running on 3 and 4 September.
