EDUNINE2020 goes VIRTUAL due COVID-19


The EDUNINE 2020 Virtual Conference are held from April 13 to June 1, 2020 and was designed to be multimodal, combining both asynchronous and synchronous events, and communication, with some online and some video-on-demand sessions. All online (synchronous) sessions were be recorded so that they can also be viewed offline.

The multimodal format is:

We chose this multimodal format because:

  1. the conference is taking place after the scheduled dates;
  2. most of the universities have already started running their classes remotely due to COVID-19. Our authors are professors working with the tools and resources to create the best experience for their students while locked at their home. The EDUNINE2020 Moodle platform allows the authors to attend all the technical sessions and recorded plenary sessions and workshop, and interacting with other authors, at the times they have available, without altering their programmed activities and allowing them to share their resources with their families;
  3. we want to address the claim of some authors who wanted an online congress, that is, to have the opportunity to interact directly with the presenters, as in a face-to-face congress. The IEEE live events Cisco Webex platform allows authors attend to the plenary sessions as live events, interacting with the presenter and other authors present at the same time. The workshop offered by the Universidad del Pacífico will be held using Zoom. Invitations will be sent to all authors for participation. Moreover, it gives us the possibility to feel that we're sharing some time together as if we were at the face-to-face conference;
  4. we want to make responsible use of the Internet during this emergency. In particular, we do not want to exclude those who cannot connect due to technical problems at a given time, or who must do so at times that do not affect their professional and family activities;
  5. we choose those tools that only need the equipment to which we all have access and that take care of the privacy of the authors personal data. Live events Cisco WebEx from IEEE and Moodle from EDUNINE are very simple to use and require no more than a computer/tablet/cell phone and an Internet connection.

Thank you for helping make this conference a tremendous success!

The new April 13-June 1 EDUNINE2020 event, in Virtual multimode, enjoyed the combination of highly relevant narrated presentations made by the authors of the papers for the video-on-demand technical sessions, the plenary presentations as live events with recording which are available in the video-on-demand special session, and the blended online workshop, lively discussions, and great attendance.

The EDUNINE2020 conference in Bogotá, Colombia had to be cancelled by covid-19, three days before its scheduled start. In putting the EDUNINE2020 VIRTUAL conference in one month together, EDUNINE received welcome support from:

  • the authors, who provided outstanding presentations in video of their papers;
  • the plenary and workshop presenters who helped us learn how to use the online conference tools, providing their time for session rehearsals and presentation,
  • the Universidad del Pacífico, Peru, for providing the workshop and their own online systems for running the workshop;
  • COPEC, that provided the server and storage for running the video-on-demand conference;
  • IEEE MCE team, who provided the online conference system and support, and the EDUCON organizers, who provided webinars about how to use de online conference tools; and finally
  • the Universidad del Centro, Colombia for their unconditional support before and after the cancellation.

Our thanks go out to all. We did our best, and we did it because of everyone's support in setting up the new conference and making it a great success. Despite being very busy with distance learning and the problems of saturated Internet bandwidth, everyone actively participated in both modes from around the world.

Reading the chat and forum interactions, listening to the chat and, questions and answers in the plenaries and seeing each other virtually during the workshop was the best reward for the work done together. Congratulations to everyone and, to the authors and collaborators who won the IEEE EDUNINE Awards!

We hope you enjoyed the virtual conference as much as we did and look forward to meeting you all at EDUNINE2021 in Guatemala.
