CALL FOR PAPERS: The Organizing Committee of INCEDI 2016 invites the
academic community, researchers, educational experts, educational managers and
administrators, development institutions, educational funders, industry leaders,
doctoral and postgraduate students to the International Conference Education,
Development and Innovation (INCEDI 2016).
ABOUT INCEDI: INCEDI 2016 will create the platform for academics, researchers
and education experts, doctoral and postgraduate students as well as industry
players to share their research findings, papers and experiences, in a multi-cultural
atmosphere, interact with colleagues and accomplished professionals. INCEDI will
create networking opportunities, enhance the establishment of professional
relationships and new partnerships.
One of the key high points of the conference, as the main theme suggests, is how
educators use technology in teaching to design and deliver learning activities, thus,
providing students with richer and more personalized learning experiences in the
process. Another significant aspect of the conference is the opportunity to interact
with industry. This important feature of the conference where industry will interact
with the kingpins of academia and research institutions will ensure that those who
train and those who require the workforce will discuss directly, skill levels and
knowledge requirements for the future. Additionally, a capacity building
pre-conference workshop for the faculties of both public and private universities on
enhancing their research profile in academia, exposure to emerging technologies in
education delivery as well as support to doctoral candidates on their research
journey, among others will be organized.
