The International Conference on Web-based Learning (ICWL) is an annual international conference on Web-based learning, founded by the Hong Kong Web Society. It aims at providing an in-depth study of the technical, pedagogical, as well as management issues of Web-based learning.
Since 2016 ICWL is organized in conjunction with the International Symposium on Emerging Technologies for Education (SETE) which aims at serving as a meeting point for researchers, educationist, and practitioners to discuss state-of-the-art and in-progress researches, exchange ideas and share experiences about emerging technologies for education. SETE collects the traditional workshop activities managed by ICWL in the past years, and additionally features a novel organization in tracks.
From 2011 to 2015 ICWL was organized in conjunction with the International Symposium on Knowledge Management & E-Learning (KMEL) among others. KMEL, chaired by the Faculty of Education of the University of Hong Kong, aimed to provide insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Knowledge Management and E-Learning.
