The conference theme this year is: designing new learning ecologies. This theme includes areas such as designs for learning and change, connecting design, theory and practice, and reconceptualising learning. A total of 35 papers have been accepted for the conference: 18 full papers and 17 short papers. The accepted papers revolve around a broad range of research subjects and practices within the conference theme. These include methodological questions, discussions of design-based research, presentations of educational designs and discussions of perspectives on designs for learning as self-regulated learning or social semiotics explorations, and so forth. The overall Designs for learning community is facilitated through a collaboration between three Scandinavian universities (Stockholm University, Aalborg University and the University of Bergen).
