Event

We invite you to participate in the 19th Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO2024).

Latin American countries urgently need to collaborate, join efforts and grow together in various fields, especially in those that can significantly improve the educational level of our people. Learning technologies are widely considered to be the cornerstone of a new educational era. To stay at the forefront of this evolution, it is essential that Latin American countries have an active forum to discuss the latest technological innovations applicable to our unique regional contexts.
