5th Annual MERLOT International Conference
http://conference.merlot.org/conference/2005/
[from the MERLOT conference website] Please join us for the 5th annual MERLOT Conference as we celebrate our accomplishments in creating and bringing together our global community of educators dedicated to opening the best of the world of online teaching and learning resources to higher education. The Tennessee Board of Regents will host this year’s conference. Tennessee is the land of many innovations; it is here that Sequoyah devised the Cherokee alphabet in 1809. That innovative alphabet led to the literacy of the Cherokee Nation, expanding its world. This year, we too, will expand to new worlds. Our theme focuses on looking beyond today’s horizon to the future of MERLOT and its partners as we explore online resources for higher education, implement new mechanisms for bringing the community to resources and innovative ways of using them, and engage faculty, administrators and students in their use.
The MERLOT International Conference is unique in that its program and participants bring together (and reflect) the broad spectrum of higher education, from members of community colleges to research universities; we span the disciplines, and link together the variety of campus members who focus on teaching and learning with technology, e.g., faculty, students and administrators.
Our goal is to engage you in preparing for what lies beyond the horizon with the globalization of digital teaching and learning through pre-conference workshops, concurrent sessions, round tables, hands-on workshops, panel sessions in addition to our thought-provoking keynote addresses by world renowned leaders in higher education and technology.
