ATIEF

ATIEF was officially registered in November 1998 as an association which puts on an official footing the pre-existing working group GTIEF. The group started up the scientific journal Sciences et Techniques Educatives (STE), which has been published by Hermès. The group has also organized seminars and conferences : Hypermedia and Learning Conferences (Journées Hypermédias et Apprentissage), Cachan Conferences on AI & ED.

The aim of ATIEF is to federate a number of different groups and foster the synergy between them in order to develop information and communication technologies and their use for human learning. ATIEF functions as a learned society and proposes the following:
- to bring together the different competences and skills within the scientific and user communities (institutions, researchers, trainers, teachers, developers, etc.) in various domains (didactics, computing, pedagogy, education, cognitive science, sociology of education, etc.), around themes of mutual interest (hypermedia, telecommunications, human-machine interfaces, CSCW, authoring systems, simulation, virtual reality, pedagogical engineering);
- to work towards the full recognition of this field of research;
- to propose this range of competences and skills to potential partners, especially the public authorities;
- to contribute to the creation and circulation of knowledge, and especially to bring it to national and international attention through working groups, conferences and publications.
- to serve as an interface with the Computing and Education Group of the IFIP and with AI & ED Society.

As the recent history of information and communication technologies shows, the various opportunities, resources and local initiatives have led to the development of a number of associations, inevitably with a certain amount of overlap, each of which makes its own contribution to the edifice in the domain. ATIEF confirms its vocation as a willing partner in this joint effort.
