EITT2020 Conference Theme:

Borderless Transdisciplinary Education in the Internet Age

Keynote Sessions

Keynote 1: Reaching transdisciplinary through field reconceptualization: From systems to learning engineering
Wednesday, December 16, 9am -10am Beijing Time / Tuesday, December 15, 5pm – 6pm PST / Wednesday, December 16, 2am – 3am (GMT+1)

Abstract: This keynote will take on the perspective of an educational technologists’ journey from traditional ed tech through learning sciences to transitions in the field overall toward profound learning, learning engineering, and negentropy as the field continues to evolve. By reviewing foundations in systems, leadership, and innovation, Dr. Carr-Chellman takes us on a journey toward the edges of our field with a particular attempt to engage transdisciplinarity and multidisciplinary.

Keynote 2: Embracing student diversity for quality in higher education
Wednesday, December 16, 4:10pm -5:10pm Beijing Time / Wednesday, December 16, 12:10am – 1:10am PST / Wednesday, December 16, 9:10am – 10:10am (GMT+1)

Abstract: The role of higher education is to prepare students for a long working life with relevant knowledge and skills to the betterment of society. To be able to fully live up this role we need to acknowledge that the student population is diverse. In this talk I will discuss what diversity entails and give examples of what kind of challenges traditional higher education practices impose for a diverse student population. Next, I will present my views on what we can do to become more diversity oriented, and how we can make more students succeed. I argue that diversity needs to be utilised as an attribute of quality and not considered a problem to be solved.

Keynote 3: The Borderless Role of Innovation in Educational Technology
Thursday, December 17, 9am -10am Beijing Time / Wednesday, December 16, 5pm – 6pm PST / Thursday, December 17, 2am – 3am (GMT+1)

Innovation is borderless. Anyone can innovate and individuals are innovating through all forms of technology. Borders can be thought of as the borders of our minds or the borders of our world. The possibilities of who is inventive or what is innovation remains subjective. This presentation provides insight into the borderless role of innovation in cross cultural, interdisciplinary and educational technology contexts.

Keynote 4: Artificial Intelligence Promotes the Reform of Teaching and Learning Methods
Thursday, December 17, 10am -11am Beijing Time / Wednesday, December 16, 6pm – 7pm PST / Thursday, December 17, 3am – 4am (GMT+1)

Abstract: Professor Gu Mingyuan, a famous Chinese educator, pointed out that “the most important thing for AI+ is to change the teaching mode from teaching-centered to learning-centered “. In order to promote the change of teaching and learning methods, artificial intelligence technology should study how to support students’ independent learning, cooperative learning, and inquiry learning. Although the current research on artificial intelligence is only in the exploratory and experimental stage, many educators have already conducted teaching experiments and achieved some achievements. This study concludes it into five teaching modes: (1) Project-based learning (PBL) supported by artificial intelligence technology. (2) Data-driven learning supported by TensorFlow, an open-source artificial intelligence tool. (3) Hybrid learning supported by intelligent agent technology. (4) Gamification learning supported by ARA Intelligent Teaching System (ITS). (5) Intelligent adaptive learning supported by an adaptive learning platform. Through Project-based learning (PBL), data-driven learning, mixed learning, game-based learning and intellectually adaptive learning activities supported by artificial intelligence technology, students’ learning styles have changed. Learning does not rely on teachers’ lectures but promotes independent learning, cooperative learning, and inquiry learning. Students not only learn knowledge but also learn problem-solving skills and improve their learning ability.

Keynote 5: Online Learning in Vocational Education of China during the COVID-19: Achievements, Challenges and Future Development
Thursday, December 17, 2:30pm – 3:30pm Beijing Time / Wednesday, December 16, 10:30pm – 11:30pm PST / Thursday, December 17, 7:30am – 8:30am (GMT+1)

Abstract: COVID-19 has challenged education systems globally. Traditional teaching and learning activities of more than 1,300 vocational colleges and nearly 11,000 vocational high schools in China had to be paused and transformed into the online mode. A study had been conducted to trace the unprecedented change which would provide policies and practical experience worthy of reference for the follow-up development of vocational education in China and other countries in the world. The study took three methods, including questionnaires, case studies, and in-depth interviews, collecting valid questionnaires from 767 schools, 17009 teachers, and 270,732 students. Besides, it gathered 110 online learning cases from 21 provinces and 170 cases of the online curriculum from 14 provinces through news websites, case collection, and other means. The talk will present the achievements and facing challenges during the pandemic of vocational education in China and suggest the policies for future development.
