The Open and Flexible Higher Education Conference 2013, to be held in Paris 24 and 25 October, has opened a call for research articles on "Transition to open and on-line education in European universities" to be published in the Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning.
EADTU 2013 offers the opportunity to publish research papers in the Open Learning Journal
26/02/2013
The Open and Flexible Higher Education Conference 2013 is hosted by FIED and the Ministry for Education and Research in Paris on the 24th and 25th of October. Following the latest developments in policymaking and university strategies, this year’s conference scope is about "Transition to open and on-line education in European universities".
As a novelty of this year, a dedicated scientific strand is planned in the programme. The papers of this strand are submitted for a special issue of the scientific Journal Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning.
Like former years, all selected papers will be published in the on-line conference proceedings publication by EADTU with reference of ISBN.
However, the papers submitted under the research strand are eligible for publication in the well-established research Journal “Open Learning”: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning. Papers submitted under the research strand therefore follow a separate procedure of submission and selection. In cooperation with this journal, the EADTU starts in 2013 with a research strand incorporated in the programme.
The topics for the research articles are:
- National and institutional aspects of opening up education: the open education market, participation in lifelong learning, international marketing, demands international students, the ability of governments and universities for opening up education, financial mechanisms for open and online education, business models, policy incentives.
- Institutional models for online or blended course and curriculum development and delivery: strategies and business models, organisational models, collaborative courses, online and blended mobility, innovation and change processes in the transition to technology based teaching and learning, enriched learning environments, tutoring and learning communities, reorganisation of curricula involving blended teaching and learning.
Deadline for submission of abstracts and research papers:1 May 2013.
