THE International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and Open University Malaysia (OUM) are organising a conference entitled ICT and Learning for the Net Generation.
The conference, which will bring together teachers, researchers and administrators involved in ICT and Learning for Youth, will be held from July 7 to 10.
Prof Zoraini: The conference will stimulate discussions on the relevance of ICT in education.
The initiator of the conference, Prof Dr Zoraini Wati Abas, said: “The conference will stimulate discussions on the relevance of ICT in secondary, higher and distance education.
“I find the education system now to be very exam-oriented.
“In spite of numerous efforts, local institutions have few success stories to share on how their learners have successfully engaged themselves with ICT-based learning.
“I believe that the time has come for us to make full use of digital technology when educating students,” she added.
Prof Zoraini, an academic at OUM’s Education and Languages Faculty, said they were expecting about 200 participants from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia to attend the conference.
“This conference will not only be a platform for sharing of knowledge and best practices but also to discuss pressing issues and trends in ICT and Learning,” she said.
The conference will incorporate keynote presentations, technical paper presentations, panel presentations, workshops, plenary discussions and informal exchanges of ideas.
