Learning from Text and Graphics in a World of Diversity

The city of Geneva is famous for being home to many international organizations, such as the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the European headquarters of UNO. In addition, Switzerland itself has three large linguistic regions, speaking Swiss German, French or Italian. While the diversity of culture and language is a tremendous opportunity to broaden one’s perspective, it represents a challenge for education. Even in the same linguistic and cultural community, people come with various abilities and motivations that affect their capacity to learn from text and picture.

This edition of this EARLI SIG 2 conference will welcome proposals on the topic of diversity : how learners with various cultural, linguistic, knowledge background, or diverse cognitive capacities comprehend text and picture instructions and how the design of text and graphic instructions can facilitate or make it worse.

Results of the review process have been notified via email on March 31 ^st 2016.

Registration to the conference is now open.
