NB: Submission of full papers is optional. Those who have their abstracts accepted may give oral presentations of their papers at the Conference. If you submit a full paper, it will be included in the proceedings (with an ISBN), if it is accepted. It will be considered for the Best Paper Award and Excellent Paper Award. From the Conference, selected full papers will also be recommended to international journals or an edited book for publication.

Submission Guidelines

Papers submitted for presentation should normally be in correct English. The oral presentation must be done in easily comprehensible and fluent English. Papers must be presented by the authors themselves. No one will be allowed to present any paper on behalf of its author.

Quality is the most important requirement. All papers to be presented should have concrete contributions to fields relevant to open and/or innovative education. All submissions will be reviewed for relevance, originality, clarity, soundness, and significance by at least two reviewers.

Each abstract accepted for oral presentation will be allocated a timeslot for paper presentation if at least one of the authors completes the registration. (Each paper presentation requires at least one registration at the early-bird or regular rate.)
