2nd Annual International Conference on Education & e-Learning (EeL 2012)
17-18 September 2012, Bali, Indonesia
The use of technology in education has revolutionized learning. Shifting beyond traditional
mode of education, the integration of technology has become an advantage for students with
specific needs. E-learning brings forth a flexible and accessible mode of education. Further
the use of technology also bridges the gap of learning across borders.
With e-learning, students can have the access to other universities and academic resource
materials from other countries, thereby broadening the knowledge base of students. Given
these advantages, it is pivotal to deliberate upon the development of technology use in
education.

Second International Forum on Academic Teaching: planning and evaluation in the
glocal context
21-23 November 2012, Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil
The second edition focuses on Planning and Evaluation in the glocal context. We consider
“glocalization” as a meaningful integration of local and global practices (Brooks and Normore,
2009) that expresses the way local actions reflect and resignify national and global
tendencies and politics which affect them (Robertson, 1995). Thus, we propose to discuss
planning and evaluation taking into account social, political and cultural aspects that affect the
participants involved in the educational processes in higher education in the era of
globalization and technology.
