JISC: Innovating e-Learning online conference 2008
Learning in a Digital Age - Are we prepared?
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/elpconference08
Venue Online conference
Date 4-7 November 2008
Themes for Innovating e-Learning 2008 focus on the productive and energising tension between the tried and tested and the wholly innovative. e-Learning may now have established a foothold in learning and teaching, but are the demands of delivering the curriculum restricting its innovative potential? How can we plan to ensure the best possible e-enhancement of learning in the future?
James Clay is the conference blogger for this event.
