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).

Calls for Papers

Artificial Intelligence in Learning and Assessment (AILA-25)

Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has immense impact in all walks of life. One of the most significant contributions of the TEL may be in the field of customised learning using automated assessment. Artificial Intelligence in Learning and Assessment (AILA) is a promising area of research both in school education and higher education. In context to Authentic Learning (AL), AILA is an important expanse of study. Automated assessment of subjective type answers using AI and X-AI play a prominent role. In order to augment skill set of the students and learners in the field of vocational and technician education, new research in personalized learning, automated grading of the subjective answers, adaptive testing, gamification and engagement, ethical consideration in the assessment are relevant in respect to upcoming research.

Digital Technology in Sports Digital Technology in Sports (DiTeS)

Sports play a vital role in our lives. Mobile technology, Smartphone or wearables are examples of Digital Technology products that improve the way that we made sports as well as enhance sports education. Artificial Intelligence is increasingly contributing to sports through applications in performance analytics, injury prediction, personalized coaching, and real-time decision-making tools.

This special session offers the opportunity to present recent results concerning the design, development, implementation and deployment of digital technology in different areas relating to sport and physical activity. It will act as a forum for education and knowledge transfer, between various organizations and actors in and outside sport.

Building AI Resilience in Education: AI-Native Pedagogies and Curricular Processes (BAIRE)

This special session focuses on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be integrated meaningfully into both education to foster resilience, adaptability, and cognitive empowerment in the age of AI. The session will showcase pedagogical innovations that develop AI-collaborative and AI-complementary skills among students through structured curricular processes—such as seed idea-based learning, AI-native simulations, and entrepreneurial identity development in view of trasformations anticipated in the workspaces of AI age. The session will highlight how natural intelligence interact with artificial intelligence and try to bridge the gaps in this synergy. Contributions are invited that explore AI-powered learning environments, Cognitive analytics, Psychometric modeling, Human–AI collaboration frameworks, and Ethical AI usage in academic contexts. By bringing together the educational and neurosceintific aspects of intellignece, the session aims to emphasize biointelligence as a shared frontier, where the human brain and AI systems co-evolve to support learning, diagnosis, and societal well-being.
