Main groups of conference topics include but are not limited to applications of advanced technology and software-hardware systems for modern teaching and learning, best practices and case studies on innovative technology-based teaching strategies and instructional design approaches, institutional strategies and policies on technology-based education and training, technology-based open and distance education, national and international projects and collaboration, and technology as an enabler of globalization of education.

All papers will be double blind reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related Technical Committees. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. The conference chair makes the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of the paper.

Location

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the ancient seat of the Minoan culture, the oldest civilization in Europe. They left impressive ruins at sites like Knossos and Phaistos, and over thousands of years of inhabitation, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman cultures have left their distinctive marks on the island. The sense of history will awe any visitor, and so will the natural splendor. The millions of olive trees blanketing the island combined with the warm sunny weather will seem like a paradise, and this is before you even visit the beaches! Check out the stunning White Mountains and the famous Samaria Gorge; you are sure to see the kri-kri, a Cretan wild goat. Spend your evenings relaxing with good food and drink in a local taverna, and savor the joy of your surroundings.
