Academic Stream Submissions
Accepted submissions from the Academic Stream will be presented at the respective iLRN conference, either online or in person. All presentation formats require registration of at least one presenter in the respective registration category and before the author registration deadline. Presentation formats include oral presentations of different lengths, poster presentations, and oral presentations in the DC session. Below, you can find more information about the different types of submission.
All online presentations will also include the publication and distribution of a pre-recorded video through the iLRN YouTube channel, so that all online presenters are required to submit a video abstract prior to the conference (except Keynote and Featured Speakers, Invited Panelists).
Types of Submissions
All Academic Stream submissions require the submission of a scientific paper that will go through a double-blind peer review process with independent reviewers. Based on these reviews, the Academic Program Chair team decides if the paper is going to be published in the respective proceedings, the submitted category, a different category, or rejected in its current form. All paper submissions have to include only original and unpublished work. There are two publication formats, depending on the submitted paper category (Full paper, Short paper, Extended abstract, or DC paper):
1) Published in Scopus-Indexed Springer CCIS Conference Proceedings pending Springer confirmation
|
|
|
|
Full paper
Comprehensive reports of research, development, and application of immersive learning and technologies. Oral presentations might include live recording and global distribution. Online presentations will include publication and distribution of a pre-recorded video. |
Short paper
Concise reports or preliminary findings of ongoing research on immersive learning/technologies. Oral presentations might include live recording and global distribution. Online presentations will include publication and distribution of a pre-recorded video. |
Springer CCIS Conference Proceedings publication acceptance will be decided by the Academic Program Chair Team based on the results of the independent peer review process with at least 3 reviews per paper. The Program Chairs will be following a 40 % acceptance rate in their decision process. The Springer CCIS Conference Proceedings will contain a minimum of 2/3 Full Papers.

Academic Full and Short Papers must be prepared in the Springer LNCS format. These papers can be submitted until the Academic submission deadline. Note: The copyright document will be made available in the camera-ready phase, but will likely be based on the document you can find on the template website.
Springer Template and Author Instructions
If solid paper contributions that do not qualify for Springer publication based on the peer review results and acceptance criteria are deemed highly relevant to the conference by the Program Chair team, an offer to publish in the iLRN Conference Proceedings may be made instead. The paper format will then have to be changed to the iLRN Conference Proceedings template.
2) Included in Open Access iLRN Conference Proceedings with individual DOIs
|
Extended abstract
This includes but is not limited to submissions of work that is still in progress, describing early-stage research with theoretical background, methodology, and, if applicable, first data collections and a description of next steps, or completed work, condensed research concepts that may be read and understood within an hour. All poster presentations will also include the publication and distribution of a pre-recorded video through the iLRN YouTube channel. |
Doctoral colloquium (DC) paper
Both doctoral level as well as master’s by research students/candidates are eligible to submit to the doctoral colloquium (DC). The DC will be held as a session in addition to the regular paper sessions, with students presenting their research to each other (in English).
