Welcome to Academc Fest 2008!
JULY 8-9, 2008 Madison, WI
Join us for the first ever Academic Fest sponsored by ADL and hosted by the Academic ADL Co-Lab in Madison, WI!
Academic Fest will bring together educational technology specialists, inventors, and researchers from all over the globe. The goal is to provide a platform for presentation and discussion on formal and informal learning technologies.
The conference itself will be a “mashup” of traditional conference sessions and less formal “unconference” sessions. While you will see the formal sessions listed here soon, the informal sessions will be determined by…YOU (and the other attendees at the conference). We will have open slots to discuss core technologies, SCORM, repositories, open source, or whatever is driving your decision-making… Conference topics include:
- The current state of SCORM and related technologies
- Use of mobile technologies in learning
- The impact of virtual K-12 schools
- Informal learning tools and changes in higher education
- Repositories, registries, and course management systems
- Future directions for content delivery models
- How to plan for Academic IT in a constantly changing delivery environment
