Announcing the Spring 2004
SLOAN-C Online Learning Research Workshop
Registration Opens January 21st!

Sloan-C announces an online workshop focusing on the latest issues in online learning. The workshop starts on February 15, 2004. Pre-registration indicated a high level of interest in the workshop, so if you wish to attend, we encourage you sign up as soon as you can when registration opens on January 21 (if you pre-registered, advance registration is open to you now!).

Developed with 40 of the most influential researchers in the field of online learning, and brought directly to your computer, this workshop can provide you with critical information about the most important issues in online learning including:

  • Blended Learning
  • Assessment Methodologies
  • Improving Student Satisfaction
  • Increasing Learning Effectiveness
  • and Other Key Topics in Online Learning

Included with the workshop, you will receive a CD-ROM that includes 14 video presentations from the researchers and their associated research reports, allowing you to see and hear the presentations as many times as you wish! And the workshop itself will allow you to ask any questions you have of presenters in both asynchronous and synchronous formats. The results of the workshop will be published by Sloan-C.

When learning about online education, it only makes sense to take a workshop in an affordable online learning format. No airports or highway driving, no hotels, no scheduled meeting time that must be planned around, just Sloan-C research and interaction at its best!

TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCEMENT: This year, we have partnered with University of Massachusetts at Lowell to provide our asynchronous technology. Our synchronous technology sponsor is Elluminate™, who is providing their powerful vClass software to help Sloan-C provide an innovative, collaborative format that caters to both novices and experts alike.

This workshop has been developed in collaboration with University of Massachusetts at Lowell, who will be offering optional CEU credit, as well as optional graduate course credit at the masters or doctoral levels.
