Scope

Design, Learning, Innovation (DLI) is a conference for researchers, designers, educators, and practitioners to share their latest research findings, emerging technologies, and innovative methods in the areas of inclusive and playful designs and learning with digital technologies. The annual conference incorporates papers, demos, work-in-progress, workshops, symposiums and discussions on how to create digital experiences to fulfil human needs.

Welcome to DLI 2020

The 5th EAI Design, Learning & Innovation (DLI 2020) conference 2020 will take place in Aalborg, Denmark between November 5-6.
This year’s theme of the conference is “Sustainable development realising human needs”.

DLI is an annual conference promoting research focusing on innovative designs for learning and the use of digital technologies. Aalborg is a hub for sustainable development, shaping conditions for future digital learning and practices. This year, DLI invites critical and innovative perspectives on the theme “sustainable development realising human needs” targeting a conceptualisation of the effects and impact of digital technologies for, in a sustainable and playful way, fostering human beings to realising their needs and ideas. All submission related to design, learning and innovation (DLI) are also welcome to the conference.

You are invited to participate in the following tracks: full and short papers, demos, work-in-progress, workshops, and symposiums. There will be a doctoral consortium supporting Ph.D. students’ and their work-in-progress.
