2008 Meeting was a success!
Comments from attendees:
-
"Great content, great networking, great food! This conference is very realistic in terms of what’s possible and impossible to do in a conference environment. Very down to earth approach to all basic stuff. The conference is not too fast paced and doesn’t have you breathless."
-
"Networking opportunities with people nearby (e.g. NW), faculty development roundtable; great facility – cost – schedule"
-
"Friendly, informal, excellent pedagogical coverage"
-
"Well organized, intimate, lots of time for social networking"
Thanks to all who attended the 2008 Northwest eLearning Community meeting. We had a great keynote from George Siemens, and some informative and helpful breakout sessions throughout the afternoon. The pre-sessions were also a great experience for the participants.
