Alexander Khoroshilov, Director a.i. of UNESCO IITE, stressed the idea that the Educational Technology is essential to achieve the objectives in education that UNESCO 2030 has stablished. “The main goal is to ensure education that offers opportunities for all, that is inclusive, and focus on life-long learning. Something impossible if we do not have the technology on our mindset”.

Marisol Ramirez-Montoya, director of the UNESCO Chair “Open Educational Movement for Latin America”. She stressed that “the specific actions proposed are intended to achieve innovation through the integration of resources, educational methodologies, administrative goals, institutional visions and internationalization on Higher Education “.

In this line, as pointed out by Daniel Burgos, president of the Congress, Technology and Methodology must go hand in hand. “Only an inclusive approach can allow us to integrate in the official programs what occurs outside the classroom, in order to improve academic outcomes.”

The work of the Congress proposed in this regard: systems for use, recycling and improved Open Education, methodologies that integrate neuroscience and creativity. Also it recommends to research on deep learning, mobile applications for literacy, possibilities of virtual reality and 3D, and cybersecurity.

The u2016 Congress has been organized by UNESCO IITE (Institute for Information and Technology in Education, Moscow, Russia), the Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR) and the UNESCO Chair on eLearning, at the Vice-chancellorship for Research and Technology (UNIR Research) .

u2016. Message from the Congress General Chair

Leave a comment

Dear participants,

it is my pleasure to welcome you to this exciting congress, under the patronage and co-organization of UNESCO, thanks to the UNESCO IITE and Prof. Alexander Khoroshilov, the support of ICDE, and the local logistics by Universidad Cooperativa and Universidad Distrital of Colombia. I cannot forget the skilled and efficient work team, in the form of working committees. As it was lately explained, and because of compelling reasons, we moved the organization from a face-to-face framework to an online event. This scheme, however, will not decrease the quality of the contributions or the outcomes. As an open university, Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) is used to run 90% of their congresses, conferences and workshops online, Worldwide, since 2009, with over 26.000 students, 1.000 professors, and 320 researchers. We are confident that UNESCO-UNIR ICT & Education Latam Congress 2016 will be a success thanks to your active support and the solid approach from all the stakeholders involved

Within the programme, you will find three sessions that cover technology, methodology and policy/society. In addition, a round table with high representatives from UNESCO and ICDE, and the official foundation of the eLearning Latam Network. Furthermore, as opening and closing, our two keynotes (Khoroshilov and Ramírez) will provide us with some hints about education and practical implementation. All in all, an excellent panel to learn, discuss, collaborate and enjoy. I really hope that you actively contribute and share towards a personal and group significant outcome.

A very friendly welcome, on behalf of the organizing team and myself

Daniel Burgos

Congress General & Scientific Chair
