Carlos III University of Madrid will be the scene of e-learning and educational innovation during the week of 22 to 26 May. Two events will take place on the campus of Leganés: EMOOCs 2017 European MOOC Stakeholders Summit and Open edX Conference 2017.
The annual EDUCON (IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference) will take place from 25 to 28 April. This year will be held in Athens (Greece) and will be entitled "Challenging the transition from the classical to the emerging Engineering Education".
Members of eMadrid network universities will participate in a special session called "Digital Education in the Classroom" in which different works will be presented that revolve around this common theme.
The eMadrid network, as part of the call for R&D programs in IT 2013, launches the Call for the eMadrid 2015 Awards. The following categories have been enabled:
- Prize for best doctoral thesis
- Prize for best final degree project or master work.
The seventh international conference on learning analytics, "Learning Analytics & Knowledge", which aims to analyze educational data to improve the learning process, was held in Vancouver, Canada, from 13 to 17 March. This conference aims to promote the scientific exchange of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of learning and computer science. Inspired by the emergence of MOOCs and the tremendous change that accompanies reflection on education, this conference was created by ACM as a new academic venue for the presentation of high quality research on how learning and teaching can change and Improve when done to scale.

Programme
On 31 January 2017, from 11.00 to 13.00, the UNESCO Chair organizes the seminar "Learning outside the Box" at the Carlos III University of Madrid, Leganés campus.
In this seminar, two will be analyzed: one is self-regulated learning (SRL) and the other one computational thinking (CT). Now that there is so much educational material online, persons with good SRL skills have a tremendous advantage when they want to acquire new knowledge whenever needed. Prof. Mar Pérez Sanagustín from PUC Chile will report on recent findings on this topic. On the other hand, programming skills are nowadays an asset in the digital age. On top of it, understanding the essence of the concepts behind programming languages can help solve problems in a structured and systematic way. This is what has been called computational thinking. As Mitch Resnick from MIT says, you can learn to code, but you can also code to learn. From Prof. Matthias Hauswirth from the University of the Italian Switzerland in Lugano we will hear an interesting experience around CT.
The European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) engages researchers, practitioners, educational developers, entrepreneurs and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field.
This year’s theme of ‘Data Driven Approaches in Digital Education’ focuses on the new possibilities and challenges brought by the digital transformation of the education systems. The increasing amount of data that can be collected from learning environments but also various wearable devices and new hardware sensors provides plenty of opportunities to rethink educational practices and provide new innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This kind of data can provide new insights about learning, inform individual and group-based learning processes and contribute to a new kind of data-driven education for the 21st century.

The next Tuesday November 22 2016, The Telefónica-Complutense Chair of Digital Education and Serious Games will organize a conference whose main motto will be "Serious Games: a professional future in the world of video games". In this day, the attendees will have the opportunity to know what is beyond the games for recreational purposes and will be able to know more about the formative games of the hand of the main companies dedicated to the sector of the serious games.
On November 18, 2016, Red.es and Carlos III University of Madrid will organize a day of innovation in open educational technology in MOOC format, to publicize this reality, explain the potential of MOOCs, show the OPENedX system and present A MOOC made on this platform that explains how to do MOOCs. Carlos Delgado Kloos, will participate with a session called Presentation of the MOOC "Creating a MOOC success with OPENedX" and in the roundtable "Experiences and expectations of the future with MOOCs".
