Two ed tech conferences

Here are links to two conferences that would be worthwhile (based on the topics / streams listed).
The first is in Vancouver at the end of October, and the second is in Toronto next July. Both are very related to ed tech / elearning.

I'm especially interested in the international conference next July. There is huge value in taking a team to conferences such as this . . .. something to think about.

Another project coming our way . . . NATOA

I've met a couple times with Sean Miles from the Business Training and Development Department. They have a new course development project they have asked for help with. It's for NATOA, which is the National Aboriginal Trust Officers Association. Lori Johnson will be the instructional designer on the project, and we'll also be assigning media specialists and a formatter sometime in the next couple of weeks.

This is a somewhat new adventure for us as we'll be hosting this course on Angel for an external company.

Presentations to the Board

We've been asked to make a presentation to the Board of Governors sometime after Christmas on the eCampus Alberta Funded Projects at LC (Learning Connections and the Learner Support Site) and the Hubbard Digitization Project. This is good incentive to get them finished!

The Learner Support site is primarily the responsibility of Learning Cafe staff, although some of our staff will be supporting the development. For now, this means primarily media specialists, but an instructional designer and formatter will also be involved.
