41ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Collaborate - Innovate - Educate!

This year’s theme, Collaborate. Innovate. Educate. reflects our intention to bring multiple voices to the table in order to work together to learn new things and re-examine what we may already know.

Columbia International University is our host for the 41st Annual Conference.

CIU Administration Bldg

Key Note Speaker -

George Saltsman, Abilene Christian University

ACU is featured in the latest issue of Campus Technology as an institution that has driven innovation to enhance mobile learning. Saltsman draws a connection between the higher caliber of student to the distribution of mobile learning devices on their campus. He also forecasts the role of the iPad and digital textbooks. For more information, see the section titled “CT innovators reunion: Where are they now?”

Pre-conference workshop -

Pearson & OpenClass

Pearson made a bold move 6 months ago when it jumped into the LMS market.
Campus Technology followed that news in the same issue. Predictions are made by some forecasters that the LMS market is going to feature a rise in companies like OpenClass while other more well-known entities might be on the decline. Come hear the latest!
