WCET’s 17th Annual Conference E-Learning E-Llusions Triumphs: Re-imagining the Academic Ecosystem
Date: November 2-5, 2005
Location: Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, New Orleans, LA

In response to the increasing demands on higher education, institutions are finding creative ways to use e-Learning and other technology-supported services. Can some of the best practices from institutions around the world inspire a new image for higher education in a global economy? Can we develop a cohesive vision for a new academic ecosystem that incorporates what we have discovered about e-learning, both from our past errors and “e-llusions” and our current successes in policy, pedagogy, and services? WCET’s 17th annual conference will address just these issues. The program features more than 200 speakers covering the latest trends and most innovative thinking in e-learning policies, practices, and services across six topic strands: Beyond the Institution, Emerging Technologies, Faculty Focus, Institutional Level, International, and Student Focus. Join us…and re-imagine the academic ecosystem!
