Objectives:

The convergence of current technologies provides the infrastructure for transmitting and storing information faster and cheaper. For information to be used in gaining knowledge, however, environments for collecting, storing, disseminating, sharing and constructing knowledge, are needed. Such environments, knowledge media, bring together telecommunication, computer and networking technologies, learning theories and cognitive sciences to form meaningful environments that provide for a variety of learner needs.

ITHET 2021 will have Artificial Intelligence and how it empowers education as its special theme.

Location:

The organizing committee of ITHET extends a cordial invitation to you to come to Sydney, Australia to attend the conference. If you are unable to attend the conference in person because of Covid-19, you are very welcome to attend virtually.

Special topics for 2021

  • AI: Artificial Intelligence (DL, DS, ML and RL) in education

  • IoT: Smart technologies and applications in education
