Sloan-C Conferences
The Sloan Consortium offers three annual conferences, each focusing on a different area of interest in online learning and located in a different region of the country. Join us in the spring for the Blended Learning Conference & Workshop in Chicago, IL, in the summer in San Jose, CA for the Emerging Technologies for Online Learning International Symposium, and in the fall in Orlando, FL for our Annual International Conference on Online Learning.

This conference brings together practitioners and researchers, administrators, instructional designers, faculty developers, library and support people, instructors, and students to try to make sense of the fast growing and rapidly changing field of online and blended learning. It is geared to both experienced professionals and interested newcomers who hail from a variety of work sectors, including higher education, K-12 education, continuing education, business, government, health care, professional associations, and nonprofit organizations. Together we will share the latest information on research findings, current practice, emerging trends, and promising new technologies, and explore what online and blended learning portends for ourselves, our institutions, and our society.

The Institute for Emerging Leadership in Online Learning
A unique blended-learning leadership development program sponsored by Penn State and the Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C), is offering a leadership experience that will give you the skills—and confidence—that you need.
IELOL is a four-step leadership development program. The program begins with a two-week IELOL online experience (July 18–29) designed to identify and focus attention on key leadership challenges at the participants’ organizations. The second step is an on-site immersive experience at Penn State (August 8–11) that enables the IELOL participant to develop specific leadership skills, styles, networks, and strategies for the emerging leader. A three-week online follow-up program (September 19–October 7) provides senior-level mentoring and consulting for the participants as they apply the newly-acquired skills and concepts in their local settings. The program culminates with a preconference workshop (November 16) at the annual Sloan Consortium ALN conference in Orlando. Learn more...
