Co-chair of the Workshop session - 11th Conference “Environnements Informatiques pour l’Apprentissage Humain” @EIAH 2023
I am actively involved in organizing the 11th Conference on Computer Environments for Human Learning (EIAH 2023) , which will take place from June 12th to 16th, 2023, at IMT Atlantique in Brest. This French-speaking event brings together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines who are interested in digital research in education. I am a member of the program committee and the organizing committee for this conference. I also had the privilege of chairing the “Pedagogy and ludicization” session.
Additionally, I co-chair the EIAH 2023 Workshops, which will be held prior to the main conference. Our mission is to issue a call for workshops, evaluate and select innovative and relevant thematic workshop proposals, assist organizers in preparing and promoting their workshops, facilitate interactions between facilitators and participants during the sessions, and ensure overall coherence of the workshops with the conference’s objectives and theme.
Chair of the “Virtual and Augmented Learning Environments” Session - 15th International Conference on Computer Supported Education (CSEDU2023)
As the Chair of the Virtual and Augmented Learning Environments session at the 15th International Conference on Computer Supported Education (CSEDU2023), I had the privilege of leading a session focused on the exploration of technology’s role in education. This session featured four thought-provoking papers that delved into various aspects of utilizing virtual and augmented reality in the learning process.
In my role as the session chair, I was responsible for overseeing the presentation of these papers and facilitating engaging discussions among esteemed scholars and practitioners in the field of computer-supported education. The session served as a platform for the exchange of innovative ideas, insights, and experiences, fostering collaboration and advancements in the realm of virtual and augmented learning environments.
