ICODeL 2021 will be held as a virtual conference which means that all presentations will be delivered online. Paper presenters are required to submit video recordings or slide presentations with recorded narration before the conference. Asynchronous and synchronous interactions between the presenters and the participants will take place in a designated online platform.
ICODeL was launched on 22-24 February 2012 in Manila, Philippines to provide a forum for distance education on and e-learning scholars, practitioners and policymakers to share and reflect on experiences, and collaboratively create and explore spaces and possibilities for ODeL for development. The second ICODeL was held in Manila in 2014. In 2018, UPOU partnered with National University of Kaohsiung to organize the third ICODeL in Taiwan.
