The ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF), in collaboration with the ECO Educational Institute (ECOEI) and the E-learning Association of Iran (YADA), is pleased to invite you to speak at our virtual panel session on “Technology-Enhanced Learning: Experiences of ECO Member Countries,” scheduled for February 26, 2025, as part of the 18th National and 12th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICeLeT 2025) in Kerman, Iran.

About the Session

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is reshaping education by integrating digital tools such as online platforms, virtual classrooms, and mobile applications to expand learning opportunities, improve accessibility, and enhance educational outcomes. However, in the ECO region, TEL adoption remains uneven due to challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, inadequate institutional capacity, and policy gaps.

This interactive session will bring together experts, policymakers, educators, researchers, and students from across ECO Member Countries to:

• Discuss the latest developments in TEL and its impact on education systems.
• Share insights on challenges, best practices, and success stories from their respective countries.
• Explore policy recommendations to promote TEL adoption in the region.
• Contribute to shaping future policies and frameworks for TEL adoption in the ECO region.

The session will be held both in person and virtually, allowing easy access for participants from across the region.
