Orchestrating ICT for Education
Armin Weinberger - Professor of Educational Technology at Saarland University, Germany

More than a buffet of tools offering possibilities to the teachers, orchestration refers to the purposeful mixture of different aspects of the learning experience, serving a particular set of learning goals. In this presentation, current potentials and open issues in orchestrating technology‐enhanced learning arrangements will be discussed and exemplified with current scenarios of technology-enhanced learning such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), learning with social media, e.g., Facebook, and learning with mobile and multi‐touch devices.

How to get smart: the ASLERD vision on Smart Learning Ecosystems
Carlo Giovannella - Department of Educational Science and Technology - University of Rome Tor Vergata

How smart are our schools, our universities, etc.? How happy are students, teachers, parents, stakeholders? It may depend on what we intend for smart! In this talk the people centered and multidimensional model of smartness will be presented together with its implications for learning ecosystems and their governance, for new literacies, for alternance schemes, for the social innovation, for the mediation role of the technologies. Becoming smart, or smarter, is for an ecosystem, like for the human, an ongoing process and requires a predisposition to a dynamical resilience to achieve the expected goal.

"In the context of the 11th Pan-Hellenic and International Conference “ICT in Education” organised by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki from 19 October until 21 October a special session will take place in the topic “Tutors as Designers of Technology Enhanced Learning”. There is a strong need to contribute to the ongoing debate on the topic (Kali, McKenney, & Sagy, 2015). The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers, tutors, tutor trainers and other practitioners, as well as educational policymakers to exchange experiences, ideas and best practices. Different kinds of contributions that extend the existing knowledge on the topic are welcomed: empirical studies, systematic reviews, policy papers, and theoretical papers that provide solid conceptual foundations. Also, the term 'tutors' is meant to be used herein as an inclusive term that encompasses designers of TEL in one (or a combination of) setting(s): faculty members, school teachers, adult trainers etc. This special session covers a wide range of different aspects on the topic, which involve (but are not limited to) the following: • Faculty members as designers of TEL • Teachers as designers of TEL in school education • Tutors as designers of TEL in distance education • Considerations for supporting tutors as designers of TEL • Methodologies or (software) tools that enable tutors as designers of TEL • Conceptual frameworks for tutor design work • Policy recommendations for enabling tutors as designers of TEL • Communities of tutors engaging in design of TEL The submission of papers is done via the Easychair System (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcicte2018 ) and at the same time, by e-mail to Anna Mavroudi (amav@kth.se), Olga Viberg (oviberg@kth.se), Björn Hedin (bjornh@kth.se), or Olle Bälter( ob1@kth.se) by 30/05/2018. Reference: Kali, Y., McKenney, S., & Sagy, O. (2015). Teachers as designers of technology enhanced learning. Instructional Science, 43(2), 173-179."

Round Tables: A session organized as a ‘discussion panel’. The coordinator first submits a proposal describing and documenting the discussion topic and its importance. If the proposal is accepted, the coordinator invites at least 4 speakers. During the session the speakers first make short introductions on the discussion topic (for example, 5 or 7 minutes each) and then the discussion goes on with the audience also participating. A ‘Round table’ could report conclusions that could be included in the Conference proceedings.
