The e-Skills for Knowledge Production and Innovation Conference
addresses issues of interest to people promoting e-literacy and in
developing and supporting e-skills (the ability of people to adequately
use and create all forms of ICT) at all levels of life and work. The
focus of the conference is the strategic and efficient use of modern ICT
devices and applications as well as the related knowledge, skills,
competences, teaching, learning, and inventiveness of the workforce and
citizens.

The conference will bring together researchers from throughout South
Africa with colleagues from the rest of Africa and other continents to
share their ideas and develop their research. In addition, the
conference will offer opportunities to network with colleagues as we
experience some of what South Africa has to offer including visiting a
game park and exploring the Cape of Good Hope.

We encourage you to submit a paper, volunteer to be a reviewer of
conference papers, and/or just attend. More details about the conference
will be posted on the website http://e-SkillsConference.org
<http://e-skillsconference.org/> as they become available. Papers may be
submitted at http://e-SkillsConference.org/submitpaper
<http://e-skillsconference.org/submitpaper> and you can sign up as a
reviewer at http://e-skillsconference.org/reviewers Shortly we will open
the conference for registration.

Will you submit a paper by June 1 for a full review? Papers received
after that date will undergo an abbreviated review.
