This book gathers the Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Interactive
Collaborative Learning (ICL2017) held in Budapest Hungary on 27-29 September 2017. The
authors are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education.
The impact of globalisation on all areas of human life the exponential acceleration of
technological developments and global markets and the need for flexibility and agility are
essential and challenging elements of this process that have to be tackled in general but
especially in engineering education. To face these current real-world challenges higher
education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to them. Since its inception in 1998
this conference has been devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative
learning. Today the ICL conferences offer a forum for exchange concerning relevant trends and
research results and for sharing practical experience gained while developing and testing
elements of new technologies and pedagogies in the learning context.
