The European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) engages researchers, practitioners, educational developers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. This year’s theme is “Technology-Enhanced Learning for a Free, Safe, and Sustainable World“.

We invite contributions for research papers, posters and demonstrations, as well as practice papers and workshops. A doctoral consortium will be organised concurrently with the workshops. From both research and innovative practice perspectives the following topics of interest to the conference include, detailed conference topics can be found here.

Submission Formats

Research papers, practice papers, posters, and demonstrations, as well as Doctoral Consortium (DC) submissions will be handled through EasyChair. Apart from the DC submissions, all papers will be reviewed through a double blind review process, i.e. authors must upload their papers without any reference to themselves or their institutions.

Accepted research, poster and demo papers will be published in the conference proceedings. As every year, the proceedings will be published within Springer “Lecture Notes in Computer Science” (LNCS) Series. The use of supplied template is mandatory: https://www.springer.com/de/it-informatik/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made

Practice papers will be published in Companion Proceedings, e.g., via CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS) and authors have to comply with the CEUR template (which is different from the LNCS template)

Workshop proposals will be handled separately.

• Research Papers: 8-14 pages, published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings
• Poster Papers: max. 5 pages, published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings
• Demonstration Papers: max. 5 pages (published in LNCS Springer Conference Proceedings) plus max. 1 additional page describing the demo (not published in proceedings)
• Practice Papers: 5-10 pages, published in CEUR Companion Proceedings.
• Workshop proposals: online form, not through Easychair (see conference webpage), not published in proceedings
• Doctoral Consortium Papers: 5-10 pages, published in CEUR DC Proceedings.
