Hi all,

In the past, we've always met in August for some professional development. I started several months ago to ask you for some ideas for a possible event this year, but response to date is pretty slim. So, let's work together to try a new approach.

Allan Gyorke (former Hazelton IDS) and I have created a Wiki document to plan an event for August. We've run this by several others, but really need your input to make it a great event. The Wiki doc is located at

Look for the Learning Design Summer Camp link on that page.

Hi everyone,
I just returned from a really great conference focused on teaching in higher-ed: The Teaching Professor Conference. If you are looking for professional development that focuses on teaching (not so much technology), then this is one I highly recommend. The presenters were top notch and the pre-workshop sessions and keynote were by nationally known authors and experts.

Hi Everyone. I'm passing along this notice about an eLearning conference designed for people in the arts/design/humanities fields (and people that help to develop those types of courses) conference at University Park.

Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning- Register Today

Hi all,

I'm kicking around the idea of having a Fall 08 meeting for us. I'd like to have an entire day, and can probably swing a provided lunch and afternoon snack. In the past we've focused on specific tools, etc. as part of the training for the day. I'd like to get away from that and into more pedagogical discussions, community building activities, and joint projects we all benefit from.
