The impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in education is  growing widely and rapidly. To accelerate this growth, it is important to realize that there will always be more than just one approach. From a general  perspective, two complementary approaches exist. One is 'top-down', in which  technology is identified and implemented from the educational needs for  effectiveness and quality; the other is 'bottom-up', in which emerging technology is utilized in design and implementation of novel learning  methodology. For sound and sustainable growth of ICT-based education, it is also important to pay attention not only to educational technology itself,  but also to technology infrastructures, pedagogies and organizational aspects. From these view points, this theme-based conference of ICCE will try  to provide an opportunity to present and exchange ideas and results about the  cutting edge research on ICT application in education. This conference emphasizes upon Open Contents & Standards, both of which are important  driving forces of ICT-education, besides all the aspects of Advanced Learning  Technologies,

The scope of the conference will cover but not be limited to:
- Open platforms, content and open educational resources (OERs)
- International Alliance for Open Source, Open Standards, and federated repositories
- Technology standards for content, portfolio, learner information
- New Generations of educational technologies
