Over the month of February the local conference team in the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) at Dublin City University (DCU) will be offering a number of webinars to help explain the World Conference themes, describe the different paper categories and provide advice and support on how to prepare a successful paper submission. If this is your first ICDE World Conference on Online Learning or you are a relatively new and emerging researcher in the area, then participating in one of the following webinars should be of particular benefit. They will provide an opportunity to ask questions about the conference and help you to prepare a successful paper submission.

Wednesday 13th February, 9.30-10.30 am (GMT)
Wednesday 27th February, 9.30-10.30 am (GMT)

Each webinar will explore some of the conference sub-themes and will provide guidance on the kinds of submissions that might relate to each of these. In addition practical advice will be provided on how to submit good abstracts, such as the importance of having a good title, a clear abstract providing a summary of the presentation and an indication of how it relates to the conference sub-themes. The sessions will be engaging and interactive and participants will have the opportunity to explore some of the conference questions:
- What is the future of online education?
- How can online education contribute to better futures?
- What is required to harness the potential of online education?
- What are the implications of online learning for educational leaders?
- How should governments and policy-makers respond to online education?
