Dear Kayode,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I wonder if there is anyway RETRIDAL can have a representation. Maybe we should brain storm about it next week. We may stand the chance of some reckoning. Cheers.

ICDE launches open call for Insight
Paper 2: Blended Learning
ICDE is seeking authors to write the
second paper in our Insight series on the topic of State of
the nation: blended learning. Insight papers are between 5
-7.000 words long and written in an accessible language
style for a wide audience. Authors and researchers should be
considered by their peers as experts in the field and may
not necessarily be ICDE members.
The ICDE Research and Innovation Report
(2015) recommended that ICDE develop a series of Insight
papers that could reflect the emerging research and
innovation issues that members were interested in. The first
Insight Papers on Learning Analytics were published in
November 2016 and are accessible from ICDE’s website.
This second call to action seeks
writers and researchers who can collaborate with ICDE to
produce a new Insight paper on the topic Blended Learning.
Blended learning is a mainstream approach to learning in
higher education. Teachers are commonly drawing upon a mix
of digital technologies and face to face approaches to
enhance the learning outcomes of their students. The term
itself blended learning has many definitions which are
varied in the explanation. There appear to be many
interpretations of exactly what it is, how it works and what
the benefits are. ICDE is seeking authors to write the
second paper in our Insight series on the topic of State of
the nation: blended learning.
The Insight paper will be desk-top
published and launched at the ICDE World Conference in
Toronto in October 2017, and through various ICDE media
channels. Upon completion authors may even wish to develop
the Insight paper into a research article for the ICDE
Praxis Journal or present the work at later ICDE
Conferences.
Insight papers are between 5 -7.000
words long and written in an accessible language style for a
wide audience. The audience could be both practitioners and
leaders.
Authors and researchers should be
considered by their peers as experts in the field and may
not necessarily be ICDE members. The Insight paper will need
to be founded on evidence and provide a synthesis of the
current state of play with critical insights for various
audiences.
A draft Insight paper is due by June
30th, 2017 and the final version by August 30th, 2017. Upon
receipt of the final paper an honorarium will be due 450
Euro /500 US dollars.
Evaluation criteria:
Relevance to the announced topic
Actuality to the field of praxis
Degree of new insight on the topic
The Insight paper will be published
under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0

If you or someone you know is
interested in undertaking this work, please send an
expression of interest of no more than 500 words stating
your expertise, approach and confirm your ability to meet
the stated deadlines plus a CV demonstrating your expertise
in the field.
Enquiries of interest are due 19th
April, 2017, and should be addressed by email to: [log in to unmask]
