eLearning is one of the most active fields of research and practice in Europe in all the education and training sectors. The use of new and innovative technologies for learning is raising enormous expectation and motivation among researchers, teachers, students, and other education stakeholders.

The European Conference on eLearning (ECEL) is an annual event that has been at the forefront of this revolution. It brings together groups of people in a variety of areas related to eLearning who seek to combine cutting-edge research with practical, real-life applications in order to advance the state of eLearning around Europe.

Conference Chair is Sue Greener of the University of Brighton. Keynote speakers include Professor Gráinne Conole of the Institute of Educational Technology, Open University (UK) on "Trajectories of Learning - New Approaches and Directions" and Don Clark of Ufi DirectLearn (UK) with "Don't Lecture Me!"

The Brighton Business School provides an enthusiastic and stimulating place for academic debate and learning among researchers and research practitioners in the eLearning field. Hosts to the Computers and Learning Conference in 2009 and the Work, Employment and Society Conference in 2010 among many others, the University of Brighton aims to develop creative relationships among teaching and learning, research, and economic and social engagement.
