(and their implications for future education in the era of AI and the metaverse)

This workshop accepts full and short paper submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings of ICCE 2023 which will be indexed by Elseiver Bibliographic Database.
(News flash! The paper submission deadline has been extended to August 18, 2023!)
In 2006, 17 international scholars published a seminal paper that virtually launched the research field of mobile-assisted seamless learning. Seamless learning is an educational approach that seamlessly integrates learning experiences across different locations, settings, and technologies. It aims to provide learners with a continuous and coherent learning experience that extends beyond the boundaries of traditional learning settings.
Initially incubated in Taiwan, since the mid-2010s, a group of Asian scholars have embarked on the Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) Initiative, a theoretical synthesis effort aimed at co-constructing a holistic developmental framework in which students nurture their learning interests, creative capacities, and learning habits──the three anchoring concepts of IDC theory.
IDC Theory is both a learning theory and learning design framework, while the line of seamless learning research began with the construction of the supporting technological environment and gradually moved towards the development of pedagogical principles and the study of such a learning culture from a socio-cultural perspective. This opens up the possibility of integrating both learning concepts to facilitate the continuity of IDC-based learning in the future seamless learning space.
Thus, more recently, scholars involved in the original IDC initiative and earlier seamless learning research has been discussing the possibility of constructing the integrated Seamless IDC (SIDC) Theory and how it might contribute to future education in the era of AI and the metaverse. We think it is time to recruit more interested scholars to discuss these emerging and far-reaching issues. For example, Tak-Wai Chan gave a keynote address on this topic in MetaACES2023 in Hong Kong in June 2023.
This workshop aims to provide a platform for the colleagues involved in the initiative to articulate the synthesized theory of SIDC as well as for eliciting responses from other scholars. It will be conducted in mini-conference style and apart from invited papers, interested scholars may submit their research papers or position/conceptual papers pertaining (but not limited) to the following topics,
Original IDC Theory and/or its extension in view of seamless learning
Original notion of seamless learning and/or its extension in view of IDC Theory
Potential frameworks of SIDC Theory
Potential educational outcomes of SIDC Theory
Potential development of SIDC practice supported by emerging technologies such as AI and the Metaverse
The vision of SIDC theory from the local and global perspectives
Research studies pertaining to the IDC theory or seamless learning
Technologies and technological tools to support IDC or seamless learning practice
Beyond this workshop, a series of academic activities are being planned for this initiative. We encourage interested participants in this workshop to send an email to sidcmailmanager@cl.ncu.edu.tw. We shall keep you on the mailing list discussion@seamlessidc.org for discussion. Additionally, updates will be announced on http://www.seamlessidc.org/. Please note that for various reasons we do not plan to use Facebook or other social media for exchanges at this time.
