We do not educate, and are not educated in vacuums, but in such contexts and constraints as families, groups, and societies; of nations and cultures; of identities and religions; and of political and financial realities. Ever-changing technologies offer new ways for us to be independent and autonomous learners, encouraging students to be self-directed and confident in making choices, and enabling and empowering students and teachers to be proactive and tailor content. However, myriad technologies and services make us more dependent on the very things allowing autonomy. How do we help students and teachers alike navigate and curate the vast information available? How do we encourage individual growth while also underlining the importance of belonging and of the reciprocal responsibilities and privileges of education? How do we help students build the skills and attitudes necessary for positive engagement in distributed, globalised communities that so often lead to polarisation and alienation instead? How do we educate with independence and interdependence in mind? – The ACE2019 Organising Committee Tien-Hui Chiang, Zhengzhou University, China Joseph Haldane, The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), Japan Paul Lai, Nagoya University, Japan Tzu-Bin Lin, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan Yvonne Masters, Independent Researcher José McClanahan, Creighton University, USA Ted O'Neill, Gakushuin University, Japan Justin Sanders, Temple University, Japan Campus Zachary Walker, University College London (UCL), UK ––– IAFOR Publishing Opportunities (SCOPUS) ––– ACE Official Conference Proceedings https://papers.iafor.org/proceedings_category/ace-official-conference-proceedings/ ISSN: 2186-5892 If your abstract is accepted and you have registered for the conference, you are encouraged to submit a full paper for inclusion in the official Conference Proceedings.
