The International Symposium on Computers in Education provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest advances in research on learning technologies and their practical application in educational processes. It also aims to bring together researchers, developers, institutional representatives and teachers to share views, knowledge and experiences.

The 23rd edition of the Symposium will focus on technologies for learning analytics. The application of institutional intelligence processes and the exploitation of academic data present great opportunities to improve both the teaching/learning processes and the management of academic institutions. To take advantage of this potential requires the definition, development and evaluation of technological constructs that allow the capture, processing and visualization of data for timely decision making.

This edition of the SIIE is held within the framework of the VI Spanish Congress on Informatics (CEDI) 20/21, postponed from 2020 to 2021 due to the Covid-19 crisis.
