Dear colleagues
If you have already booked for Innovating e-Learning 2008,
congratulations! If not, here are ten good reasons why this could be a good
thing to do..
I: It’s a showcase for Innovative work on
e-learning from JISC-funded projects and others – a chance to find out
about recent e-learning developments
N: It offers great Networking opportunities with
e-learning enthusiasts in the UK and overseas
N: It’s Not just for one sector – Innovating
e-Learning 2008 offers a collaborative environment in which experiences
can be shared with colleagues in both higher and further education sectors
O: It’s Online - you can view the session
papers and presentations in advance, then participate at times convenient to
you. But don’t try taking part and still keeping up the day job at the
same time - it will be a very rich experience
V: It offers a wide Variety of topics – from
Web 2.0 to e-portfolios, from Second Life for Learning and Teaching (guided
tours available) to designing learning spaces for 21st century
learning and achieving transformational change
A: Its aim is to Assist you in Achieving
learner-centred, technology-enhanced practice in your context
T: It's Time-shifted, so you can view the
presentations when you want, and read through discussions after they have
finished – the conference remains open for 2 weeks after the last posting
to enable you to catch up with what you have missed
I: It features Interesting and engaging presenters
- keynotes by Gilly Salmon (University of Leicester), Rose Luckin (London
Knowledge Lab) and John Davitt (writer and broadcaster and educational
technology specialist)
N: There’s No chance to get bored – apart
from three keynotes and ten sessions under themes of Embracing the future
now and Going boldly into the dark, Innovating e-Learning 2008 offers a Showcase
area of other innovative work to browse through, a social space for virtual
networking, technical support if needed, and last, but not least, the 2008 conference
blogger, James Clay
G: It’s Great value for money – still
only £50 per delegate!
And of course, it’s about e-learning!
