eLearn Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Register to Join SIGs

At E-Learn, Special interest groups (SIG) focus on a shared interest or topic of conference participants. The idea is to advance a specific area of knowledge through discussion and collaboration while at E-Learn, but also between our annual conferences.
AACE supports the creation of SIG’s by providing meeting and presentation time slots and organizing pre-conference workshops for these SIG’s. If you and your colleagues would like to establish a SIG for a shared interest, please contact us for submission instructions.

AI in Education/eLearning Trends and Innovations SIG (TRENDS)

A community of researchers, designers, educators, and practitioners who share a collaborative focus on creating and exploring contemporary advances in learning technologies that are shaping education for today’s and tomorrow’s learners.

Members of this SIG are those interested in discussing, constructing, and leading the path toward a collective research-based exploration of various emerging educational trends and technology innovations (e.g., artificial intelligence, mobile learning, open education, MOOCs, collaborative technologies, social media, digital course resources, adventure learning, learning analytics, informal and nontraditional learning, etc.).

Designing, Developing, and Assessing eLearning SIG (DESIGN)

Making the complex clear, turning difficult into intriguing, raising intellectual curiosity, supporting creative problem solving, posing authentic challenges, building effective scaffolds – contemporary e-learning goes beyond the latest tools and technologies. This SIG aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to debate and collaborate on a variety of instructional design themes.

The SIG will promote activities for future E-Learn conferences, including suggestions for invited speakers and symposia. It provides a marketplace for joint research projects and offers publications opportunities in form of special issues and edited volumes.
