We invite you to participate in the 19th Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO2024).

Latin American countries urgently need to collaborate, join efforts and grow together in various fields, especially in those that can significantly improve the educational level of our people. Learning technologies are widely considered to be the cornerstone of a new educational era. To stay at the forefront of this evolution, it is essential that Latin American countries have an active forum to discuss the latest technological innovations applicable to our unique regional contexts.

LACLO aims to be this vital forum. We encourage researchers, developers and education professionals to join us to share their innovative experiences and technological advances in learning technologies. By participating, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the integration of these innovations into diverse teaching and learning environments, thus fostering educational growth and excellence throughout Latin America. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative movement that is shaping the future of education in our region - join us at LACLO2024!
