SUMMARY OF THE CONFERENCE
On behalf of
Global MOOC and Online Education Alliance
and UNESCO IITE,
we are pleased to invite you to the
2023 Global MOOC and Online Education Conference this December!
Momentous developments in generative artificial intelligence to teaching and research, daily operations and outreach of higher education institutions. Digital transformation in education offers new possibilities, including personalized learning experiences, enhanced student engagement, and unprecedented access to educational resources on a global scale. Under this context, the Global MOOC and Online Education Conference follows up on the implementation of the Beijing Declaration of MOOC Development (2020), which recommended UN organizations, international and regional organizations, governments, universities, and online education institutions around the world to deepen international exchanges and cooperation, accelerate the building up of infrastructure for communication, promote the openness and sharing of MOOC and online education resources, and jointly promote the setting of international technical and curriculum standards for MOOC and online education, joining hands to build, develop and promote MOOC and online education to better serve the society.
In this interdisciplinary field that bridges scientific innovations with social, cognitive, and developmental reflections, the conference’s scope extends beyond the subject matter of investigation. Instead, it aims to offer a transnational platform that promotes the digital transformation of higher education by discussing new interdisciplinary methods through conversation, comparison, and connection between the sciences and humanity, developed and developing regions, engaged and under-engaged sectors.
In this context, the 2023 Global MOOC and Online Education Conference, themed ‘Reconstruction of Future Universities and Education Driven by Artificial Intelligence,’ will be held in Milan, Italy, on 14-16 December 2023, co-hosted by the Global MOOC, the Online Education Alliance and UNESCO IITE.
