On behalf of all the symposium organizers welcome to the 2018 Digital Learning Symposium – Frontiers of Innovation: Curriculum Change in Online Learning Environments.
This email is to all delegates, presenters, and sponsors registered. Please read through to the end for important information including:
New sessions added some moved or changed
Please check your schedule if you have created one already, also consider building one if you have not. Note the following new additions:
Session Curation
Session descriptions include a link to an online Google document to enable delegates to ask presenters questions in advance, and after, the presentation. Please consider before, during, and after the event to:
- Add questions for presenters in advance so they can address them in the session;
- During the session, take notes, provide impressions and add your voice;
- After the session, check out the curated notes and add to the conversation.
The key point here is: what is it that you want to learn about, to make a note of, and to remember for your own practice? The Google documents will be stored on a Google Site that will live beyond the symposium, the Sched.com site we are using and will be shared openly with those attending and those that could not.
