Laclo 2017 will be held in October and will also host the Cacic 2017 Informatics Conference.

Latin American countries have an urgent need to share, to unite efforts and to grow up together in many areas, but especially in those areas that could lead them to improve the educational level of their people. Learning technologies may be considered by many the cornerstones for a whole new educational era that is under development, and Latin American countries must maintain an active forum for discussion of the existing technological alternatives that can be applied to the regional context. LACLO intends to be such a forum, where researchers, developers and educational practitioners are able to share their experiences and technological advances in the field of learning technologies, and to integrate these various technological developments into their teaching and learning contexts.

This year the 12th LACLO edition will held from October 9-13, 2017, in the city of La Plata, Argentina coordinated by the Computer Science College of the National University of La Plata. LACLO 2017 will be also co-located with Cacic 2017, the national conference in computer science. This will be an interesting opportunity to meet each other.
