The 2025 DECCLT & ICDELE Conference is the active engagement and variety of session types that keep attendees learning, discussing, and connecting throughout the day. Throughout all session types, an online backchannel is available to leave messages or questions for the presenters or facilitators to continue the conversation after the conference. Learn more about the Conference session types below.

SESSION TRACK 1: Show and Share (SAS) in 2025 DECCLT

• • Present on your case study, research, project, process, failures, or lessons learned using Digital Education and Contemporary Chinese Language Teaching. 

  • These sessions include 15 minutes of presentation time with or without visuals, followed by 5 minutes of audience Q & A.

SESSION TRACK 2: Show and Share (SAS) in 2025 ICDELE

• • Present on your case study, research, project, process, failures, or lessons learned using Digital Education and Learning Engineering. 

  • These sessions include 15 minutes of presentation time with or without visuals, followed by 5 minutes of audience Q & A.

SESSION TRACK 3: Lightning Talks (LT)

• • Deliver a very short presentation (no more than 5 slides) on one or two key points. Think Pecha Kucha or a TED talk slice. 

  • The goal of this session type is to allow attendees to ponder a point posed, inform the community about an important update, share an interesting example of digital education and/or learning engineering in context, or solicit partnership in a digital education and/or learning engineering-related endeavor. 

  • These sessions are 5 minutes in length.

SESSION TRACK 4: Active Learning Session (ALS)

• • Lead an activity-based learning session with a defined objective, strategy, and product/performance. This is a great opportunity to model components of the digital education innovations and/or learning engineering process with a focus on meaning making. 

  • These sessions include a lesson plan or “workshop in a box” that will be published in the Conference Proceedings for others to use in a variety of settings to spread the good word of learning engineering. 

  • These sessions are 60 minutes in length, light on direct instruction and heavy on participant engagement.

SESSION TRACK 5: Structured Panel (SP)

• • Moderate a panel of 2-5 experts to discuss a topic related to digital education and/or learning engineering. Plan for audience interaction with Q&A. 

  • These sessions are 60 minutes in length, including audience discussion.

SESSION TRACK 6: Exploration Stations (ES)

• • Facilitate a discussion around your passion with a whole breakout room or in small groups at tables. Some sessions may include facilitators or experts at each table to engage in a particular topic. 

  • The key is to provide participants an opportunity to spend time talking to each other. 

  • These sessions are 30 minutes in length. Each session repeats twice (or more) to give conference attendees the chance to visit more than one station of interest or to stay put to engage in deeper conversation.

SESSION TRACK 7: Showcase Your Work (e-Poster Presentation) (SYK)

• Spotlight your work in a poster session format, with or without a poster. You can stand by your poster, facilitate a tech demo, or present another type of visual. We would love to see your creative and innovative ideas for what and how to present. 

• Great for more intimate and informal conversations about your work. 

• These sessions are 60 minutes in length with the opportunity for conference attendees to graze the various content or stop and chew the cud with the presenter. 

         These sessions will foster the building of strong research communities within the broader field of education, and share the latest advances in educational research and practice in each area. The meta-conference umbrella will not only play the dual role of allowing researchers to enhance their identity in their thematic research communities, but also allowing cross-disciplinary interactions to help broaden the scope of and inspire future innovative research and practice in education. We expect this transdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience will result in the emergence of new strands of thought linking all topical areas, and encourage the development of new, more synergistic modes of research and practice in education.

The 2025 DECCLT & ICDELE invites submissions for abstract and/or full papers for all session types. Scholars and advanced graduate students worldwide whose research extends beyond a single-country site are encouraged to submit to the conference. Papers may be submitted to be presented at track sessions.  

Before uploading your papers to the system, please ensure that you have followed the following instructions: 

1) Ensure that you have adhered to the a 250-word abstract and a page limits for full paper (6-8 pages) 

2) Ensure that you have followed the formatting instructions in the abstract and paper template file. 

2.1) The ABSTRACT format template available HERE.

2.2) The FULL PAPER format template available HERE. 

3) Please submit your papers for the 2025 DECCLT & ICDELE via EasyChair. 

The conference will have a single-blind review, i.e. the authors of the submitting papers will not know who their referees are, while the referees will be aware of the authors of the papers that they are reviewing. Therefore, anonymization is not required in the submitted manuscripts.
