Special Focus & Themes

The e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies Research Network is brought together around a common concern for new technologies in learning and an interest to explore possibilities for innovative pedagogies. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary geographic and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Twenty-First International Conference on e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies features research addressing the following themes and special focus:

  • 2028 Special Focus—Walking Backwards Into the Future: e-Learning for a Fragile Earth
  • Theme 1: Ancestral Wisdom in the Age of AI
  • Theme 2: Innovative Approaches to Ecopedagogy and Environmental Education
  • Theme 3: Pedagogies, Participation, and Possibilities
  • Theme 4: Place-based Education and Digital Technologies
