International Conference on Smart Learning Environments (ICSLE 2020)
Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou, China
May 13th-15th 2020 has been postponed due to COVID-19
NOTE: you can always see the current and past ICSLEs on http://iasle.net/
ICSLE 2020 WILL BE POSTPONED TO A FUTURE TIME @ JANUARY 30, 2020
Due to the current situation regarding spread of virus and the associated health warnings, the conference will be postponed to a future time. The details of the future dates will be available once the situation becomes clear. When a confirmed conference dates come, it will be announced on IASLE’s official website http://iasle.net/, EasyChair, and through other channels. There will be new call for papers and submission deadline in the announcement.
The International Conference on Smart Learning Environments (ICSLE 2020) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to discuss issues related to the optimization of learning environments to enhance learning. The focus is on the interplay of pedagogy, technology and their fusion towards the advancement of smart learning environments.
Various components of this interplay include but are not limited to:
- Pedagogy: learning paradigms, assessment paradigms, social factors, policy
- Technology: emerging technologies, innovative uses of mature technologies, adoption, usability, standards, and emerging/new technological paradigms (open educational resources, cloud computing, etc.)
- Fusion of pedagogy and technology: transformation of curriculum, transformation of teaching behavior, transformation of administration, best practices of infusion, piloting of new ideas
Proceedings
- All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published under Springer’s Lecture Notes in Educational Technology series.
- Extended version of selected accepted papers will be considered for publication in Springer’s Smart Learning Environments journal.
Types of submissions
- Experience Reports: Experience reports describe research-based technological implementation for education that worked well and is now recommended to others.
- (a) Full-length Experience Reports (maximum 10 pages): Full-length Experience Reports may contain detailed descriptions of research behind the implementation, development, evaluation or other applications. Work reported in Full-length Experience Reports must be original.
- (b) Short Experience Reports (maximum 6 pages): Short Experience Reports may contain brief reports of technologies developed, techniques used or results of research. Work reported in Short Experience Reports must be original.
- Research Studies: Research Studies present a careful study, with an appropriate use of methodology (e.g., case study, qualitative methods, quasi-experimental, experimental) to support the investigation and stated results. The methodology does not need to be quantitative; it does, however, need to be appropriate to support the claims made by the author.
- (a) Full-length Research Studies (maximum 10 pages): Full-length Research Studies may contain detailed description of the background research, details of methodology used, findings of the study, interpretation of the findings, and resulting recommendations for other researchers/practitioners. Work reported in Full-length Research Studies must be original.
- (b) Short Research Studies (maximum 6 pages): Short Research Studies may focus on small-scale research experiments that may be extensions of author’s previously validated research. However, the work reported in Short Research Studies must be original.
- Work-in-progress Papers (maximum 4 pages): Work-in-progress Papers contain original research frameworks, architectures and implementations, where initial results are available but full validation are not yet done. The originality of the work must be clearly visible.
- Reflection Papers (maximum 4 pages): Reflection papers are expected to present an argument – with rationale and justification – for a different approach or perspective on solving a current educational problem through the use of emerging technology or through innovative use of existing technology. The work presented in the Reflection Papers must not have been published (or submitted for publication) elsewhere.
- Posters (maximum 4 pages): Posters are expected to briefly explain the idea of your research and argue its novelty. Posters are not intended to provide background research or details of a rigorous experimental study. They provide opportunity to sell your ideas to the audience. The work presented in the Posters must not have been published (or submitted for publication) elsewhere.

Author Guidelines 2020
- FIRST, create a submission entry with ABSTRACT at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsle2020) by JANUARY 10, 2020;
- THEN, follow the Springer Formatting Guidelines and use this Sample Paper as a template (Word format only) and upload the paper file by JANUARY 17, 2020 via updating their submission entry on EasyChair.
Submitted papers will be subject to a peer review process. Complete papers will be required for the review process, abstracts alone will not be sufficient.Note: The conference employs a double-blind review process, hence authors’ names and affiliations should NOT be present within the manuscript. Authors should ONLY include their names in the appropriate fields in the paper submission form on Easychair.Note: Authors’ information should be included ONLY in the camera-ready version of the manuscript and NOT in the initial version. However, during the preparation of the initial manuscript, authors should leave a number of empty lines at the beginning of the manuscript, so as to include authors’ information during the camera-ready manuscript submission.
