*“The Paradigm Shift: Refocusing on the Student”____*

*eLearning 2.0* is a lively international conference exploring
technology-enhanced learning and social media technologies. The
conference is a collaborative space for educators, students,
researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy makers to share their eLearning
classroom successes, as well as new developments in their research and
workplace. The main theme of this year’s conference is “*The Paradigm
Shift: Refocusing on the Student*”. This educational paradigm shift is
fuelled by the unprecedented access that students now have to
information coupled with a view of learning as a constructive process
consisting of selecting, organising and integrating information.____

The theme broadens the discussion from last year’s theme of “Flipping
the Classroom.” It seeks to showcase any use of technology to enhance
learning which requires us to “think differently.” The conference seeks
contributions on evolving pedagogical approaches, as well as to raise
the profile of research in technology-enhanced learning; spread good
practice in the use of technology to enhance learning; and facilitate
collaboration between practitioners, researchers, and policy makers.____
