IEEE TALE is the IEEE Education Society's premier conference series in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to provide a forum for scholars and practitioners to share their knowledge and experience in engineering and technology education, as well as in technology-enabled educational innovation across a variety of academic and professional disciplines. The target audience of the conference is diverse and includes those working in higher education, vocational education and training (VET), K-12, corporate, government, and healthcare sectors.



The theme of this year's conference is "Embarking on a new era of learning with transformative technologies." This conference theme challenges us to look anew at how the potential of current and emerging technologies can and/or should be harnessed for education and learning in our ever-changing world.
