Can We Say FREE Online Conferences and Learning Events? |
| Tuesday, October 28, 2008 |
Hey there. Many free online events coming up in November. I must let you know about them.
1. If you are not attending E-Learn, you might attend this conference for free which my friends Jay Cross and George Siemens are running: Corporate Learning Trends and Innovations 2008, November 17-21, 2008, http://www.learntrends.com/. It is FREE!!!!!!!!!! Funny, George is an invited speaker at E-Learn in Las Vegas at the same time. With online conferences, you can do more than one conference at a time.
2. And the week before, you might attend this US-China virtual symposium on November 11-13: http://tel.coas.drexel.edu/conference/demo/index.html. This is being run by Drexel University. It is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. GLOBAL E-COLLABORATION ONLINE PANELS: A WEBINAR SERIES
SPONSORED BY IGI GLOBAL AND ELLUMINATE EVENTS. Per the editor, Janet Salmons (http://www.vision2lead.com), “Online collaboration is transforming the way we work together. Whether partnering across organizations or teaming within organizations, people collaborate online to accomplish shared goals. To gain new understandings of these changes, researchers are exploring new collaborative practices and their impacts. The forthcoming IGI publication, a Handbook of Research on Electronic Collaboration and Organizational Synergy, presents a diverse collection of these studies.” There will be 3 free Elluminate events moderated by the book editors, Janet Salmons, and Lynn Wilson, will moderate the panels. After the events, the archives will be online at http://www.elluminate.com/recorded_events_request.jsp. For more on the Handbook of Research on Electronic Collaboration and Organizational Synergy, coming soon from IGI Global, see: http://www.igi-global.com/reference/details.asp?id=8003 or go to Janet’s blog: Site- http://www.vision2lead.com.

It is even better when those options involve nontraditional forms of learning. We all learn. Jay, Janet, George, the folks from Drexel, and others are making is available to you. They are pushing education ahead in the 21st century. Learn from them! Yes, learn from them for FREE!!!!!!!!! The world needs more such events and people.
