The European Conference on e-Learning (ECEL) has become over the last few years a major event in this field. It traditionally brings together both researchers and practitioners whose aim is to explore, advance and improve e-Learning.
ECEL welcomes contributions in a variety of areas related to e-Learning (as per the call-for-papers), from varied groups of people of different perspective, seeking to bring top research and proven best practices together into one location, for the purposes of helping practitioners find ways to put research into practice, and for researchers to gain an understanding of additional real-world problems.
ECEL will combine cutting-edge research with practical, real-life problems in business and in society, in order to advance the state of e-Learning around Europe. To achieve this goal, we are inviting researchers and practitioners to present their research findings and new ideas, and practitioners to demonstrate actual products.
On behalf of ECEL, I would like to invite everyone interested in e-Learning, academics, researchers and practitioners, to join us in this beautiful place and participate in this exciting event.
