Dear LDHEN,
 
A quick reminder that the first Online Symposium of the International Consortium of Academic Language and Learning Developers kicks off at 9.00 pm tonight UK time and runs over a 24 hour period.
 
This is an exciting and innovative experiment, to allow Learning Developers from New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK to communicate across the timezones and present examples of their work to an international audience. We hope that this will encourage international collaboration and result in joint project working - we all share so much in common!
 
Details in the email below. Do please take a moment to register in advance and check the log in details using AdobeConnect. Our friends in Canada have worked hard to get a great schedule together for this inaugural online symposium.
 
See you there?

Secretary, Association for Learning Development in Higher Education, UK
