International Hybrid Learning Society and co-organized by South China Normal University and University of Sunderland.
The theme of the conference was “Mass Open Online Course (MOOC)”, “Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)”, and
“Blended Learning”. Representatives from around the world focused on mobile and ubiquitous learning, MOOC and open educational
resources, online learning and flipping classrooms, virtual reality and augmented reality learning.
Professor Kevin Hannam pointed out in the keynote speech that contemporary technological progress can help the international
development of higher education. We should pay attention to the students' resources that have already achieved internationalization
through international communication programs, and seek practical experience in innovative education. The opening of the environment has brought new teaching resources, and the opening of technology has also led to changes in the form of teaching.
The International Conference on Technology in Education (ICTE 2019) aims to serve as a platform for relevant academic exchanges across
higher education institutions, focusing especially on sharing of good practices and results from studies. It is an international academic event with important influence in the Asia Pacific region.
