Call for Papers: AECT-LKAOE Virtual Event
AECT-LKAOE 2015 Summer International Research Symposium (http://aect.org/chinasymposium/) will be accepting proposals for virtual presentations. The call for virtual presentation proposals begins on October 2, 2014 with the deadline for proposal submission on November 30, 2014. The virtual presentations will be held on June 17, 2015, Day One of the Symposium. Considering the time difference, virtual presentation sessions are scheduled from 8:00 PM — 10:00 PM Beijing time. There is a 12-hour difference between Beijing time and Eastern Daylight Time in the United States. Therefore, the virtual presentations will be 8:00 AM — 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time on the same date, June 17, 2015 in the United States.
This Summer International Research Symposium, serving as an open-discussion forum, is designed to draw the best minds together for an intensive intellectual exchange of ideas/information on research, development, and application of all topics related to learning and knowledge analytics in open education in all disciplines. Virtual presenters are expected to involve participants in the discussions. The Symposium will be presented in English. You will need to write the proposal and paper in English, and upon proposal approval, present your topic and facilitate discussion in English.
