About the Conference

Openness and innovation are major trends in contemporary education, influencing the whole spectrum of education institutions across the globe. Technological advancement and breakthroughs are bringing about a paradigm shift in contemporary education. Modes of learning and teaching are becoming more open and innovative in terms of time, space, curriculum contents, organization, pedagogical methods, infrastructure, and requirements. These changes take place virtually in all institutions (offering conventional, online, and/or open courses). With this background, Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) organizes annual conferences on open and innovative education with the following aims:
  • provide a platform for sharing quality research, effective practices, and well-formulated views relevant to open and innovative education;
  • facilitate networking and cross-institutional collaboration among researchers and educators in fields of educational innovation and/or openness; and
  • promote studies and advancements in open and innovative education.
Building on the successes of the conference series in eleven previous years, the 2025 International Conference on Open and Innovative Education (ICOIE 2025) will be held at the campus of Hong Kong Metropolitan University in Hong Kong. The conference will take place as a hybrid conference on 9–11 July 2025. All participants may choose to attend the conference and present their papers at the conference venue in Hong Kong or through our video conferencing system.
