David Guralnick - Innovations in Learning and Technology for the Workplace and Higher Education: Proceedings of ‘The Learning Ideas Conference’ 2021

The series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems publishes the latest developments in Networks and Systemsquickly, informally and with high quality. Original research reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNNS.

Volumes published in LNNS embrace all aspects and subfields of, as well as new challenges in, Networks and Systems.

The series contains proceedings and edited volumes in systems and networks, spanning the areas of Cyber-Physical Systems, Autonomous Systems, Sensor Networks, Control Systems, Energy Systems, Automotive Systems, Biological Systems, Vehicular Networking and Connected Vehicles, Aerospace Systems, Automation, Manufacturing, Smart Grids, Nonlinear Systems, Power Systems, Robotics, Social Systems, Economic Systems and other. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution and exposure which enable both a wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

The series covers the theory, applications, and perspectives on the state of the art and future developments relevant to systems and networks, decision making, control, complex processes and related areas, as embedded in the fields of interdisciplinary and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social, and life sciences, as well as the paradigms and methodologies behind them.

Indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago.

All books published in the series are submitted for consideration in Web of Science.

The Learning Ideas Conference began life in 2008 as the International Conference on E-Learning in the Workplace (ICELW), which focused on new and interesting work relating to workplace learning. As ICELW evolved, it began to seem more and more critical to integrate work from higher education along with workplace learning, broadening the focus to adult learning in various forms, and to expand beyond the term e-learning. The conference integrated one of its sister conferences, the International Conference on Interactive Collaborative and Blended Learning (ICBL), added the more technical Adaptive Learning via Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional Approaches (ALICE) workshop as a special track, and was reborn and rebranded as the Learning Ideas Conference.

With the subtitle Innovations in Learning and Technology for the Workplace and Higher Education, the conferences goal is to bring together people from around the world to help reimagine what learning can be, particularly using, and inventing, new technologies.

The Learning Ideas Conference 2021 was held as a fully online event due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was the first conference under the new name. The conference featured 5 fantastic keynote speakers:

Prof. Dr. Ilona Buchem, Professor of Media and Communication, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin, Berlin, Germany. Wearable Enhanced Learning (WELL): Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges.

Deborah Howes, Professor, Museum Studies Program, Johns Hopkins University, and President of Howes Studio Inc, New York, NY, USA. Museums as Catalysts for Digital Learning.

Michael Kanaan, Director of Operations, Department of the Air Force/MIT Artificial Intelligence, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Artificial Intelligence: Reaching the End of the Rainbow.

David Kelly, EVP and Executive Director, The Learning Guild, New York, NY, USA. A Look Ahead: The Now and the Next of Learning and Technology within Organizations.
