The IABL2016 conference is a forum to explore the latest blended learning solutions as well as to discuss and exchange the latest findings and new ideas based on the ongoing research, practice, and experience. We would like to invite contributions from across the globe, from all educational sectors and a broad variety of industries. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work (regular and short papers) that are not being considered in another forum.

Submissions are invited to the following tracks:

DESIGNING BLENDED LEARNING
As society progresses into the 21st century we are seeing new generations of learners who are comfortable using technology in their everyday life. At the same time, learning materials are available electronically from anywhere and at anytime. Educators and trainers must design blended learning taking these and other trends into consideration. This track focuses on guidelines and best practices for designing blended learning solutions.

TECHNOLOGY IN BLENDED LEARNING
Blended learning implementation can use a variety of technologies in delivery. Also, as technology emerges, educators and trainers must integrate the emerging technologies when implementing blended learning. What technologies are being used or can be used to deliver quality blended learning? What research studies are being conducted on the use of blended learning? This track aims to provide answers to these and related questions concerning the usage of technologies in blended learning.

FUTURE OF BLENDED LEARNING
As we move from the early stage of the 21st century into the later stages, we need to look at the role of blended learning in the future. How can blended learning be more effective and motivating for learners? What are some of the trends that will affect blended learning in the future? How are organizations planning to implement blended learning in the future? How does current research inform the future practice of blended learning? These are the issues to be addressed in the Future of Blended Learning presentations.

CORPORATE TRAINING: FROM ELEARNING TO BLEARNING
Traditionally corporate training programs have been on-site and face-to-face, but with development of digital media, various platforms and modes of delivery, training has been much more interactive and engaging resulting in professionals becoming far more responsive. Blended learning is the best method of delivering corporate training if technology is strategically used. This focus of this track is to examine the difference between elearning and blended learning, as well as how technology can be used to compliment face-to-face, instruction-led training in the corporate setting.

PEDAGOGY OF BLENDED LEARNING
Pedagogy is the pivotal element of successful learning and it should be underpinned by carefully selected learning theories and in-depth understanding of the needs of the 21st century learner. Pedagogy can be viewed as guidance to learn that comprises teaching practices, methods, strategies as well as teaching philosophies and beliefs. Blended learning pedagogies are addressed in this track.

BLENDED LEARNING PRACTICE
The Practice track is the forum for high-quality presentations on innovative applications and practical bLearning solutions. These include any combination of learning and training tools and practices that have proven successful in a variety of contexts. The Practice track papers should generally have results from (ideally) real world development, deployment, and experiences delivering bLearning solutions. Examples of real-life implementation of bLearning solutions are invited both from all educational sectors and a broad variety of industries.
