Overview

The 16th International Conference on Intelligent Multimodal Communication and Learning Technologies, IMCL2025, is part of an international initiative to promote technology-enhanced learning and online engineering world-wide. Intelligent multimodal communication and learning technologies integrate multiple input and output modalities—such as speech, text, gestures, vision, and haptics—enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) to create more effective, adaptive, and interactive learning environments. These technologies aim to improve human-computer interaction (HCI), enhance accessibility, and support personalized education. The IMCL2025 conference will cover all aspects of multimodal communication as well as the emergence of learning technologies, infrastructures and services and their implications for education, business, governments and society. The IMCL2025 aims to promote the development of e-learning, to provide a forum for education and knowledge transfer, to expose students to latest ICT technologies and encourage the study and implementation of multimodal communication applications and technologies in teaching and learning. The conference will also aim to stimulate critical debate on theories, approaches, principles, and applications of learning technologies among educators, developers, researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

Conference Proceedings

All paper and short paper submissions are subject to a double blind reviewing process. Only accepted and presented papers will appear in the proceedings if they have been uploaded before the deadlines.

The conference proceedings will be published as IMCL2025 Proceedings in the Springer series ""Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems"". The books of this series are indexed by SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH, SCImago and are submitted for consideration to Web of Science. Selected award papers will be recommended for publication in the International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM), the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET) and the International Journal for Online Engineering (iJOE).

IMCL Special Sessions

Call for Proposals

Here you propose to organize a special session to which – if it's accepted – other authors may later submit research papers.

Overview

Special sessions, held in parallel with the general conference, are an integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to meet and present their work, and offer a forum for interaction among the broader community of technology-enhanced learning, and online engineering world-wide. Special sessions papers are required to meet the same standards as papers in the general conference and are published in the same conference proceedings.

Topics of interest are in all areas of mobile learning and similar to main conference topics.

Proposals must be submitted to the ConfTool® Submission Server. Special Session papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the special session's program committee, and acceptance decisions will be made by the conference program co-chairs and Special Sessions Chair. Organizers of special sessions will work closely with the Special Sessions Chair, and are expected to respond promptly and communicate regularly in order to maximize the potential impact of the track. Proposals must be made using the special session proposal template (including the necessary information, such as title, organizer(s), special session's program committee, etc.). If the proposal will be accepted, it will be used as basis for the call for special session papers.

A special session will include at least 5 papers and the review process is under the responsibility of the person organizing the special session (i.e. session chair). In that case we offer a discount in the registration fee to one special session chair. Special session that fails to attract enough papers will be merged into the general conference or suitable alternative session.
