Advancing lifelong learning and professional development through ICT: insights from the 3L-Person 2023 workshop

Abstract

The 3L-Person 2023 workshop provided a unique forum for researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to explore the multifaceted role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in lifelong learning and professional development. Held in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, on October 25, 2023, the workshop showcased 11 high-quality papers that addressed a wide range of topics, including: personal learning environment design, advanced ICT for professional retraining and training in the workplace, and blended and remote learning/teaching with emerging ICT. The workshop facilitated lively discussions and networking opportunities among participants, who shared their experiences and insights on the emerging trends and issues in this interdisciplinary field. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the 3L-Person 2023 workshop, including its theme, aims, topics of interest, program committee, accepted papers, and key outcomes.

Tech-Enhanced Learning

“…The flipped classroom has been proven to have a favorable impact on student learning since the students are more actively involved in the learning process and are more inclined to retain the material [27]; besides increasing their motivation, the method enables more autonomy over their learning by making class time more interactive and hands-on [28]. This method can help students better understand the material by allowing them to study the concepts before the class, and then apply the concepts during the class; students retain the information more effectively when they interact with the material multiple times and in different ways [29].…”

Comprehensive training guidelines from ethical research associated with information and communication technology and artificial intelligence

“…Inquiry is inherent to human nature; this activity is carried out to discover the unknown or hidden to the researcher's curiosity, especially in this new world sustained by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and artificial intelligence Papadakis et al, 2023). The aim is to discern adequately between the positive and negative, to generate knowledge with one's criteria, achieving individual investigative autonomy under the ethical parameters of a progressive society (Ala & Najah, 2024).…”

“…Now, this investigative act on a specific topic requires knowledge of the area of science to be researched due to the student's expansion of the various contents related to the chosen theme, combined with mastery of scientific methodology. This is why teachers and students must have the help of technology, such as data analysis provided by mobile technology along with its breakdown with the help of artificial intelligence, to generate more updated, faster, and coherent ideas with the environment regarding the problem and its possible solutions (Papadakis et al, 2023).…”
