HKAECT International Conference 2023 “Critical Reflections on ICT and Education”
On 15-17 June 2023
(Hybrid) Main Library, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
As the information and communications technology (ICT) proliferates in recent decades, the digital experience has come to play a significant role in modern life. For many, life in the digital era is mediated through digitization, social media, and virtual applications. In the same light, the education landscape has dramatically changed. For example, due to the use of ICT, learning is no longer confined to the classroom. The ubiquity of learning has brought revolutionary changes to pedagogical approaches, diminishing the divide of formal and informal learning in education. In the next couple of years, we can expect that the importance of ICT in education will continue to grow, bringing deep impacts on various educational aspects such as content and pedagogy, leadership, planning and management.
Submission Guidelines
With a view to reflecting on the impacts of ICT on education, the HKAECT International Conference 2023 cordially invites presentation proposals (500 words) and full papers (10-20 pages) that examine topics relevant to the conference theme include, but are not limited to:
- Digital literacy
- Independent learning
- Computer-aided learning
- Evaluation and assessment
- Open and distance learning
- ICT for school management

Other relevant topics are also welcome.

The Conference welcomes 500-word extended abstracts to be submitted to EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hkaect2023). In the abstracts, you should clearly state research objectives, research questions, hypotheses (if any), research methods, findings, and implications/contributions. To ensure academic quality, all abstracts will go through a blind peer-review process.

The maximum number of an author’s submissions is two, irrespective of whether he or she is the first author of each manuscript or not.
