Host features include a registration system,ability to print name badges, and generate reports. Jeff spoke with Doug Schulze, VP Business Development about using Pathable for the Symposium and other ETS events. (Read my summary)


Theme

Digital Scholarship and the Culture of Teaching and Learning

This theme makes sense for two reasons. The concept of digital scholarship is hardwired into several ETS initiatives over the coming year. For example, there is a track devoted to it during the Learning Design Summer Camp that has generated a lot of interest. Additionally, having a recurring theme or concept will help us bring the various ETS events under the Symposium umbrella.

Keynote Speakers

Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Kansas State has agreed to speak at the symposium.

Of course, we'll plan give it a complete visual design overhaul as well. And finally, we'd like to plan to separate past Symposiums' content to an archived state.
