The submission formats (e.g., length, template, presentation format) differ per stream.
     

    ACADEMIC STREAM (more information)

    All Academic Stream submissions will be published and should be submitted as scientific papers. There are two publication formats, depending on the submitted paper type:

    1) Academic Stream Submissions: Refereed Scholarly Papers Published in Springer CCIS Conference Proceedings indexed in Scopus Database

    • Full paper (12 to 15+ pages in Springer LNCS format, incl. references) for oral presentation.
    • Short paper (6 to 11 pages in Springer LNCS format, incl. references) for oral presentation.

  • PROGRAM TRACKS

    Papers and proposals may be submitted to one of 10 program tracks. These tracks can be chosen within the submission form and presentations at the conference will be clustered based on these tracks. The first track is intended for papers making knowledge contributions to the learning sciences, computer science, and/or game studies that are not linked to any particular application area. The other nine tracks correspond to the iLRN Houses of application. Submissions to all tracks are received through EasyChair (see "Submission & Templates" below).

    Track 1.    Foundations of Immersive Learning Research and Theory (not linked to any particular application area). 
    Track 2.    Assessment and Evaluation (A&E)

    Track 9.    Workforce Development & Industry Training (WDIT) 
    Track 10.    Self and Co-Regulated Learning with Immersive Learning Environments (SCILE)

    Special Tracks

    In addition to the general iLRN Program Tracks, three special track proposals have been submitted to and accepted for iLRN 2024. Submissions to these special tracks is possible in all paper and proposal categories in both submission rounds, which means that Academic Full Paper submissions to the special tracks are possible also for the second submission deadline. Submissions to the special tracks are also received through EasyChair (see "Submission & Templates" below). Here, the track "Special Track Submissions" can be selected for the submission.
