Le 2ème sommet européen de l’IED s’est appuyé sur ce thème, en explorant comment des nouvelles formes d’enseignements, d’apprentissages et de créations artistiques peuvent être favorisées au sein des espaces virtuels. Ces aspects ont été présentés au regard des nouveaux développements technologiques dans les domaines des réalités, virtuelle, augmentée et mixte. L’accent fut porté sur la pédagogie, l’efficacité et l’évaluation des solutions : des études de cas concrets ont été présentées par des chercheurs impliqués dans ce domaine interdisciplinaire émergeant. Ce colloque a été organisé par le groupe de recherche EN-ER de EnsadLab, Chairman François Garnier, impliqué dans la recherche et le développement de pratiques artistiques dans les espaces partagés en ligne.
