Goals

This Symposium will be an international forum to debate research and experiences on the application of Information and Communication Technologies in the field of Education, not only in the Ibero-American space -as usual in former editions- but also in the international scenario. Hence, a special session will be reserved for presentations in English.

This is the 8th edition of the International Symposium on Computers in Education that is held alternately in Spain and Portugal.
