The 2nd IEEE Conference on E-Learning and innovation in EDucation will be held in conjunction with the 5th IEEE International Congress on Information Science and Technology (IEEE CiSt'18) on October 21st – 24th 2018 in Marrakech, Morocco. The main objective of this conference is to bring together academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of e-Learning and Innovation in Education.

In today's connected society, one of the key components of the future development for online education and training relies on the progress of e-Learning. Currently, online education covers a variety of applications providing to students the opportunity to improve their learning performance, interactions, attitudes and behavior. These applications integrate sound technical and pedagogical aspects having the aim to efficiently motivate learners and assist all actors in their learning related tasks.
In this context, we can address the online education from two points of views:

A technical perspective including tools and standards to develop innovative learning content, services and products. It covers several topics like authoring techniques facilitating the creation of object-based learning content, intelligent mechanisms which adaptively deliver the learning content using various devices to meet personalized learning needs, mobile learning, ubiquitous and pervasive learning, educational serious games etc.
A pedagogical perspective, it covers instructional design and development of pedagogical approaches and models in order to perform well with e-learning techniques. Indeed, effective technology driven learning opportunities do not happen without a teacher's deliberate pedagogical actions related to appropriate and targeted practices. These opportunities create spaces for interaction, collaboration and thinking to occur in educative ways and lead to better learner/teacher relationships over time.
Therefore, authors of unpublished, original, in-progress or completed research works related to both technical and pedagogical aspects of e-learning are invited and encouraged to submit their papers to the international conference on E-Learning and innovative EDucation ELED'18.
