Conference Special Theme: Learning and Teaching in a Globalized World

As the 2009 and 2010 Asian Conferences on Education showed, education and lifelong learning have been seen as a solution to a host of local and global problems whilst globalized education systems are becoming increasing socially, ethnically and culturally diverse.

All papers accompanying accepted proposals will be considered for inclusion in the peer-reviewed conference journal. You will be contacted by one of the editors if your paper is selected.

Virtual Presenter

We understand that some presenters will be unable to make the trip to Japan to present their paper, mainly due to financial and/or political restrictions on travel. ACE 2011 has therefore instituted a virtual presentation system to allow the authors of accepted proposals the same publication opportunities as regular presenters.

You can submit a proposal for virtual presentation under the open call for papers through the online system by clicking on the ONLINE SUBMISSIONS SYSTEM button below. You will be asked to create your own personal account before you will be able to upload your proposal.

All papers accompanying accepted virtual proposals will be considered for inclusion in the peer-reviewed conference journal. We do not allow presentations by video-conferencing but virtual presenters are encouraged to upload a video of their presentation onto the ACE 2011 You tube conference channel. Information on how to do this will be given to you following registration.

Following the conference you will be mailed a conference pack including a printed receipt and certificate of virtual participation, as well as a printed copy of the ACE 2011 programme.

Panels should have at least five participants (including the chair). All the panel/colloquium participants must be listed in the submission, listing the chair or leader as the primary author, and the other presenters as co-authors.
