11th Joint European Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning

Applications

Doctoral candidates should submit their applications online no later than March 25th, 2015. Please, download the application form, fill it in, and upload it to EasyChair. Please tick the appropriate box: “Doctoral Candidate Application”.

Important Dates

We encourage you to apply early so that you can benefit from early acceptance and arrange your travel plans.

Accommodation & Social Events

The Summer School will take place in Ischia, Italy. It will be hosted at the Continental Hotel.

Ischia is one of the most famous seaside and touristic spa centres of Italy and the world, it is located in the Gulf of Naples and it is renowned for its mild climate, spectacular scenery, sprawling spa towns, and picturesque small towns. Ischia is universally known as "the green island" for its lush vegetation. The Aragonese Castle, the Chiesa del Soccorso in Forio, the Sant’Angelo village, the green tufa architectures of Serrara Fontana are only some of the many beautiful places there are to visit.

Cost of Summer School

The cost for doctoral candidates is €630 (including accommodation - 7 nights in double rooms, meals and excursions). Special arrangements for doctoral candidates who would like a single room can be made. In this case the fees will be €770.

Call for Lectures & Workshops

If you would like to offer a lecture or workshop at the summer school we invite you to submit a proposal (about ½ page to a full page) describing your contribution, which should demonstrate how your presentation/activity will benefit the doctoral candidates attending the summer school (mainly early to mid-stage). If your proposal is selected it will be published on the summer school website.

We encourage interactive sessions rather than lecture-style presentations, and your proposal could include details about how you plan to engage the doctoral candidates. Lectures are usually no longer than 45 minutes and workshops are usually 90 minutes. Some workshops run 2 x 90 minutes. Lectures should provide students with insight into the state-of-the-art in one aspect of TEL or methodologies for conducting research in TEL. Workshops should provide hands-on opportunities to work with new technologies or develop research techniques.

Please submit your proposal to EasyChair. Be sure to tick the correct box: lecture or workshop proposal.

Please note that speakers and workshop organizers are expected to cover the costs of their trip and accommodation (typically through the TEL projects they are working for).

Doctoral candidates applying to participate in the summer school are also invited to propose workshops. In this case they must make TWO submissions: the JTEL doctoral candidate application and the workshop submission.
