International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning
Subject:
The Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning is designed to bring together individuals interested in the technological aspects of online learning. Experts, intermediate users and novices are welcome to participate in Symposium activities that will include face-to-face and virtual components. This event will be held May 7-9, 2008 at the Carefree Resort in Carefree, Arizona.
Symposium tracks highlight and demonstrate research, application and best practices of important emerging technological tools related to social networking, assessment, open educational resources, new media and support services. Presentations will be provided in both the face-to-face event and the virtual event held in Second Life and the Moodle Learning Management System.
There are a variety of ways to attend this symposium:
Face-to-Face Symposium - Why attend the face-to-face event? This year's event will be limited to just 300-400 attendees and will showcase many new techniques for optimizing networking and learning opportunities. The Carefree Resort provides the perfect setting for a highly interactive and engaging experience both inside and out. Expect incredible weather as well, as Carefree, AZ is located just far enough north to give some of the best temperatures of the year in early May at this popular Arizona destination.
Online Symposium -
Why attend the online symposium? The online symposium gives you a chance to not only talk about the applications, as we would at the face-to-face event, but it lets you test drive them in a safe environment while having access to experts that can help you understand their uses. If your schedule or budget does not allow for the trip or your institution does not support travel outside of your state, the online symposium provides a full scale online experience that rivals any face-to-face event. Please keep in mind that a great deal of resources will be put into the online symposium to make this one of the premier online events of the year.
When: 7-9 May 2008
Where: Carefree, Arizona
