Call for eLearning Papers: Innovation in education

                                             

Open Education Europa has announced a call for eLearning Papers on digital and innovative education at all stages of life and for all types of learning.

The eLearning Papers provide an opportunity for researchers, people in projects developing innovative applications, and policy makers to share their material quickly and easily on a pan-European portal with international reach.

Authors are invited to submit papers in any of the 24 official EU languages on a number of key themes related to innovative learning. We are particularly interested in receiving contributions from people in international projects and early-stage researchers.

Topics

Papers may be submitted on any relevant topic, but we are particularly interested in those covering the following areas:

• Learner data: Learning analytics; Methods and strategies; Big data and analytics
• Teaching technologies: Online courses; Social media; Learning apps; Organisational digital readiness
• Innovative learning methods: Gamification; Project-based learning; Entrepreneurship; Digital storytelling; Flipped classrooms; Maker spaces
• Pedagogy and curriculum: open educational resources; Blended learning; Collaborative learning; Recognising and rewarding teaching
• Quality assurance and accreditation: ePortfolios; Accreditation and certification; Validation
• Recognition: ePortfolios; Digital assessments; Badges and certificates
• Policy: European policy; National policy; Organisational change

Format

Authors can submit long papers of a maximum of 6,000 words and shorter entries between 500-1,000 words, excluding references. Bibliographic referencing should follow the Harvard style. Online citation generators can help to simplify this process. Long papers are also required to submit a short abstract in English (even if the paper is submitted in another language).

Review of articles

All articles will be reviewed by a specially-appointed, independent Editorial and Advisory Board comprising experienced academics working in the field of education from across Europe. If accepted, papers will be published online immediately on the portal where they will enjoy high levels of visibility.

Deadline: Papers will be accepted on a rolling basis with first online publications expected in October 2017.

«Creativity in the Twenty-First Century Book Series»

Interested in creativity research? submit your book proposal to this series, Creativity in the Twenty First Century http://www.springer.com/series/13859

«Creativity in the Twenty-First Century Book Series» repositions «creativity» as a boundary-crossing discipline that is essential to learning and teaching, social-economic dialogues, academic discourses and cultural practices, as well as technological and digital communications. The series serves as a timely platform, bringing together like-minded scientists and researchers around the world to share their diverse perspectives on creativity and to engage in open and productive inquiries into promoting creativity for a more peaceful and harmonious world. Researchers and practitioners from all continents are invited to share their discipline-specific insights, research orientations and cultural practices, as well as to pose new questions on what creativity is, how to promote it, which directions to pursue, who should participate, and so on.

The book series is led by emerging eminent and senior scientists, researchers, and educators in the fields of creativity, psychology, the cultural sciences and education studies. They create networks of sharing and spread innovative publishing opportunities within the communities of practice. They invest considerable time and effort in deepening creativity expertise, structuring creativity programs, and organizing creativity activities for the communities of interest. The book series aims not only to «glue together» like-minded scientists (community of practice) to share benefits of creativity theorizing, research and practice, but also to encourage non-experts (community of interest) in all societies to become supporters and spokespersons of positive engagement in creative learning, teaching and dialogues.

Book proposals for this series may be submitted to the Publishing Editor: Lawrence Liu
Email: Lawrence.Liu@springer.com
