A personal message from the Conference Chair
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 15th European Conference on eLearning which we are hosting in the Faculty of Education at Charles University in the
beautiful city of Prague in the Czech Republic. Charles University is the oldest
university in the Czech Lands and in Central Europe. It was founded in 1348 by
Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Although not so
old, the Faculty of Education was officially opened on November 15, 1946.
The mission of the Faculty is to prepare teachers for all types and levels of schools,
and to to prepare specialists and scientists in the area of pedagogy, educational
psychology and didactics. We focus our efforts on the exchange of scientific
knowledge and practical experience, on joint research projects and studies and on
international meetings of teachers and students. So with this in mind we assure you
of a warm reception at ECEL 2016.
