Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
I registered in Profology, and I am going to present this educational social network to colleagues in TUMS. Profology is a new initiative that links professors all over the wold to share their experience in higher education and cross link different dicsiplines together.
It seems our school can take benefit from being linked to other scholars in the fiels of e-learning and can offer expertize to other universities in the world. |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
The expences were much higher than what is provided by TUMS |
|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
The conference was a good opportunity to get familiar with other scholars who are active in the field of e-Learning. There were many attendances from Turkey and it seems that there is opportunities for collaboration with Turkish Universities.
Moreover, there were delegates from Tajikistan and they were interested in the techiniques of e-learning. It seems there is opportunity to expand our experience in e-learning to tajikistan, considering common language and lack of extensive experience in the field of e-learning in Tajikistan.
E-learning can overcome geographical barriers and is much cheaper than in class education. Most of required technology for e-learning is available in Iran; therefore, expending e-learning method can speed up scientific progress of academic community in iRan. |
