The Research Center for Innovation in Learning Technologies at the Open University is continuing our tradition of organizing the Chais Conference for the Study of Innovation and Learning Technologies. We invite proposals for lectures, posters, and panels for the sixteenth conference, to be held on February 16, 2021.
Technological innovation is one of the biggest challenges facing education decision makers and researchers of learning processes. We are witnessing the adoption of technological innovations by large sections of the public, but studies are needed to examine the effectiveness of their integration in teaching, tutoring, learning, and learning management. The conference serves as a meeting place for discussion, presentation of papers, and exchange of views between researchers and experts in the field. It is geared towards researchers, students, and professionals in the field of technological innovation, particularly the realm of learning technologies.

 

The conference is a platform for presenting studies dealing with learning technologies and technological innovation. It also aims to promote academic dialogue and to contribute to the formation of a community of researchers in the fields of innovation and learning technologies.

Priority will be given to presenting empirical, quantitative, and qualitative research, and to reports on the successes or failures in implementing technological innovation, particularly in learning, teaching and training. Proposals may be submitted for the presentation of theoretical studies as well.

 

The deadline for submitting proposals is October 22, 2020. Please browse the articles, presentations, and recordings of previous Chase participants on our website: The Research Center for Innovation in Learning Technologies
