Concordia to host the prestigious ISLS Conference

From June 10-15, 2023, Concordia University will host the prestigious annual meeting of the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS), which brings together the wider Learning Sciences community by combining its two conference programs, the Learning Sciences (ICLS) and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). This year, these two programs are unified by the common theme of “Building Knowledge and Sustaining our Community”. 

Members of the ISLS include renowned scholars who have published and influenced many disciplines in academia, business and a broad range of international communities. These scholars have produced research publications that have contributed significantly to the field of learning and instruction including topics such as expert-novice differences, cognitive load theory, knowledge building, motivation, inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, collaborative learning, human-computer interaction, virtual learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, and many more. 

The theme for this year’s annual meeting explores the recent unfolding educational and social climate and new roles and practices for technology and distributed communities that have been quick to evolve and become adopted. As a hub for innovation and for nurturing scholarly leaders, the ISLS has strived to investigate evidence-based practices, inform recommendations, and design technologies that sustain cycles of design and generate new forms of knowledge, interaction and discourse.
