London (UK), January 2014 - Bringing together researchers, academics, human-resource professionals, policy makers, and technologists since 2003, the ePIC conference is a catalyst for in-depth exploration and interaction. Real outcomes include the creation of national and international networks; contribution to standardisation bodies and government policies, and transnational projects; numerous publications; and the establishment of partnerships across communities in the fields of learning technologies, education, human resource development and digital identity.
ePIC 2014, the twelfth international ePortfolio and Identity Conference, being held at the London’s World Heritage Site at Greenwich University, 09 - 11 July, is inviting authors to submit research papers, case studies, work in progress, position papers, workshops, and posters in relation to evidence-based learning.
Evidence-based learning covers two different and complementary perspectives:
The emergence of Open Badges, xAPI, learning analytics, MOOCs, and open data challenges our current understanding of the potential of digital technologies to support and enhance learning, in particular ePortfolios as tools to collect, organise, interpret, and make sense of evidence collected during the learning process.
To take into account the transformation of the technology landscape on which current ePortfolio initiatives are being built, authors are invited to address the following issues:
Open ePortfolios, Open Badges, open credentials, open identities, open data, and learning analytics will be amongst the key discussions at ePIC 2014.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by three members of the programme committee. After acceptance of abstracts, authors will be invited to register as a presenter and submit a short/long paper that will be reviewed for publication in the ePIC 2014 proceedings under ISBN 978-2-9540144-4-9.
