The CAL biennial conference, in association with Computers & Education, and Elsevier, is one of the premier international conferences addressing computers and learning. It has a proud tradition of engendering critical debate on the key issues being tackled by researchers and practitioners in all areas and levels of, amongst other things, Educational Research, Evaluation, Learning Technologies, Teaching, Technology Enhanced Learning, Social Networking, Education Policy and Subject Specific Applications of Technology in Education and Learning.
There will be three international keynote speakers, paper presentations, symposia and poster presentations. All presentation formats should include some opportunity for further discussion.
We invite symposia from research groups or networks who are active in one or more of the themed areas. These would consist of a cluster of related short papers which may cover work in progress, methods and theories as well as completed studies.
Conference Dinner
An optional conference dinner will be held at the Hilton Hotel on Tuesday 24 March. The theme of the evening will be ‘Brighton Rock’ and food, drink and entertainment will be provided. This promises to be a fun night and you can reserve your ticket on the registration form.
The ticket cost is £30 + VAT = £35.20
