Carrying on the previous objectives of ITEP Special Tracks @ EDUCON
Conferences, ITEP’15 @ EDUCON 2015 aims to offer an open discussion and a
reflection in the use of Information Technologies in Engineering Education and
their appropriate Pedagogy. It also intends to foster the involvement in
continuing education, bridging the gap between higher education and learning on
the workplace by focusing the IT use in lifelong learning and training. At K-12 level this session intends to evaluate the progress of IT in fostering the engagement of younger people in the field of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
At any level it is important to evaluate the IT power in facilitating the collaborative work everywhere. Finally, it is relevant to consider the IT potentiality in improving engineering education conditions in developing countries and for those people with special needs.

The topics include (but are not limited to):
IT and Pedagogy
Computers & Engineering Education
Online Tools to Engage Students
Tools for Higher Order Thinking Skills
Multimedia for Education
Mobile Devices in Education
Online Labs
Haptic Devices
Serious Games
Virtual and Augmented reality tools
Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Technological Innovation, Product Innovation and Industrial Innovation
