June 3-5, 2010
Hammamet, Tunisia
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The 1st International Conference on e-LEArning For All (LEAFA2010) will be held in Hammamet (Tunisia), on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of June, 2010. LEAFA2010 will be hosted by the Virtual University of Tunis and the University of Ottawa as joint organizers.
The main objective of LEAFA2010 is to highlight, promote and disseminate the new technologies and innovations in the field of e-learning. The wide scope of LEAFA2010 should provide an excellent opportunity for sharing experiences, knowledge and ideas amongst researchers and scientists from academia, practitioners, vendors and government departments.
With the New technologies there is a potential for e-learning to overcome physical barriers and to equalize the experience to all groups in society. It could have a crucial role in preventing exclusion from the knowledge-based society by defining priority actions for certain target groups (minorities, people with disabilities, the under-qualified) and women, and by providing a sound basic education.
New Technologies in e-learning are opening up huge possibilities for disabled people to gain better access to education and training. In this first conference of LEAFA2010, there will be a special focus on the advances in the design of e-learning appropriate for these groups in society.
Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
Organizational Strategy and Management
e-Learning Curriculum Development Issues
