Scope:
CSEDU 2016, the International Conference on Computer Supported Education, aims at becoming a yearly meeting place for presenting and discussing new educational environments, best practices and case studies on innovative technology-based learning strategies, institutional policies on computer supported education including open and distance education, using computers. In particular, the Web is currently a preferred medium for distance learning and the learning practice in this context is usually referred to as e-learning. CSEDU 2016 is expected to give an overview of the state of the art as well as upcoming trends, and to promote discussion about the pedagogical potential of new learning and educational technologies in the academic and corporate world.
CSEDU 2016 will be held in conjunction with ICT4AWE 2016, SMARTGREENS 2016, WEBIST 2016, CLOSER 2016, VEHITS 2016 and IoTBD 2016.
