The call for papers for the online conference ‘Distance education: a brave new world?’ has been extended until 31 January 2022.
Some themes that might be interesting for our online learning and fun network:
Transformation in teaching and learning

- Lessons learnt
Educational models, configurations and practices
- Well-established teaching methodologies and new practices
- Traditional, new, tested and forthcoming models of distance, blended and online learning
Perception of distance education and its mission
- Old and new perceptions of distance education
- Positioning in relation to traditional education
Guidelines:
- Abstracts may be submitted in French or in English.
- Abstracts must be between 300 to 600 words including references (if required).
- Conference presentations will last 10-15 minutes with 5 minutes for questions to maximise the number of sessions and increase the diversity of views and experiences.
- The scientific committee may ask authors to amend their accepted abstracts before their publication on the conference website.
- Authors will be asked to submit short papers (3,000 to 4,000 words including references) for publication on the conference website before the conference.
- Selected conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of the journal Distances et médiations des savoirs (Distance and mediation of knowledge) based on the conference themes. Authors who wish to submit full papers for the special issue will be provided with further information after the conference.
The submitted abstracts will be evaluated by members of the conference scientific committee through a double-blind review process.
