The Conference themes include a broad spectrum of issues that encompass development of innovative technologies and managerial solutions used both in distant learning and in face-to-face mode as well as the analysis of trends in open, blended, distance, corporate, and lifelong learning and continuous education.

Other focuses will be the improvement of the legal base that supports the education system and international cooperation in eLearning development in the world. Participants will be able to observe the globalization processes and internationalization in the field of education and other topical and widely discussed issues related to learning.


A plenary session and about forty parallel sessions, panel discussions, and working groups where participants will have an opportunity to discuss the above issues are planned.
