The International Conference on e-Learning (ICEL-2009) invites researchers, practitioners and academics to present their research findings, work in progress, case studies and conceptual advances in areas of work where education and technology intersect. The conference brings together varied groups of people with different perspectives, experiences and knowledge in one location. It aims to help practitioners find ways of putting research into practice and researchers to gain an understanding of real-world problems, needs and aspirations. In it’s fourth year, we are delighted to be bringing the conference to The University of Toronto. U of T’s mission is to be an outstanding teaching and research university, educating for life and addressing the challenges facing our society. At the U of T we are committed to academic freedom, critical scholarship, rational and creative thought, and free enquiry. It is part of our mission to ensure that these ideals live; this necessarily requires a dynamic process of finding the balance between freedom and responsibility, rights and obligations, autonomy and accountability, transparency and efficiency, and permanence and transience; and of doing this through consultation and debate. Located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is Canada’s largest city. With a population of over 2.5 million, Toronto is the 5th largest municipality in North America. The cosmopolitan mixture of the population form a microcosm of the cultural mosaic that is endemic in Canadian society. U of T looks forward to welcoming participants from all over the world and I hope that you will be able to join us. Learn more about Discovery Commons at the University of Toronto here.

The conference was officially launched at ICEL 2008. The closing date for abstract submissions is 4 January 2009. Applications are still being accepted to join the conference committee.
