** CONFERENCE VENUE **
-------------------------------------
Since 1995, the CSCL conference has provided a stimulating and friendly venue for people interested in the multi-disciplinary issues of computer-supported collaborative learning to meet in a relaxed atmosphere with a variety of formal and informal events. Structured activities and social occasions promote interpersonal relations and knowledge building. The conference’s human size and structure facilitates getting to know people and learning about cutting-edge ideas in educational practice, technology design, CSCL theory, and diverse research approaches.

Hong Kong is an exciting crossroads of the world, a bridge between East and West. It is easily accessible from Europe and the Americas by direct flights. The culinary capital of Canton, it offers hotels for every budget. The University of Hong Kong—one of Asia’s premier universities—is located within walking distance of the heart of Hong Kong. A former British colony, Hong Kong uses English widely. CSCL 2011 is designed to offer an affordable global experience, including a post-conference group tour of educational and tourist sites in Mainland China—bring your family and students.

The CSCL 2011 conference theme, “Connecting computer-supported collaborative learning to policy and practice,” builds on CSCL 2009 to examine whether and how CSCL practices can bring deep changes to formal and informal educational practices at all levels, and contribute to educational improvement at a system level by informing education policy. This theme will be addressed by keynote talks, symposia, trips to schools, and other events.
