Ruhr-Universität Bochum Universitätsstraße 150, Bochum, Germany
Online Event

Conference Theme: Reflecting the Past and Embracing the Future. The 2021 Annual Meeting of the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) is the first of its kind, the first of a new series of annual events that will bring together the international community of the Learning Sciences as a whole. This is a milestone in the evolution of our community and a good reason to reflect on and celebrate our achievements in the past, and to embrace and envision a bright future.

ISLS Annual Meeting 2022

International Conference Center Hiroshima 1-5, Nakajima-cho, Hiroshima, Naka-ku, Japan

International Collaboration toward Educational Innovation for All: Overarching Research, Development, and Practices.

The ISLS Annual Meeting started as a new forum for the society members to exchange their ideas and insights through two conference programs, the Learning Sciences (ICLS) and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). In 2022, we will explore international collaboration to empower educational innovation for all in this challenging time by discussing meaningful connections among research, development, and practices.

ISLS Annual Meeting 2023

Montreal, QC , Canada

This year’s Annual Meeting once again brings together the Learning Sciences community as a whole by combining its two conference programs, the Learning Sciences (ICLS) and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). These two programs are unified by the theme of “Building Knowledge and Sustaining our Community”. Responding to our three year series of remote, virtual conferences, we aim to revisit the retreat experience of in-person programs. We recognize the value of in-person presentations, learning, networking, mentoring, seeking to revisit (or rediscover) this mode to remember what it is that we had lost.

ISLS Annual Meeting 2024

The University at Buffalo Buffalo, NY, United States

The 2024 Annual Meeting theme “Learning as a cornerstone of healing, resilience, and community” recognizes the continuing need to respond to global crises, including especially COVID-19 but also war, climate change, and political oppression. Buffalo serves as a fitting venue to examine the 2024 conference theme. After fifty years of deindustrialization and population decline, Buffalo is experiencing an economic and cultural renaissance boosted by a large resettled refugee population and new population growth.
