About the ELI Conference

Today’s technologies have transformed the way we interact and engage with the world around us. New devices, services, and effective practices have increased access to information while new policies and philosophies that explore openness have accelerated that change. The growth of social networks and virtual communities has transformed the learning environment into an interactive place to share and build content and community using collaborative systems.

  • What are the opportunities and the challenges associated with educating in the open?
  • How might our learners benefit from becoming producers and consumers in this environment?
  • How can we, as a community of teaching and learning professionals, collaborate more openly?
  • What evidence do we have that the trend toward openness is having the impact we hope for?

Through a highly interactive and engaging program, ELI will also examine the value of cross-campus collaboration in the creation of new learning environments and explore strategies to develop campus environments built on engagement, collaboration, authenticity, and co-creation.
