Distributed Learning in the 21st Century: Shaping the Future of Learning

Oct. 17-19, 2007

Mayfield Inn and Suites
16615 - 109th Avenue, Edmonton Alberta


Event Description

The Alberta Distance Education and Training Association (ADETA), along with other key partners such as Alberta Education and the Alberta Distance Learning Centre, are hosting a ground-breaking conference, gathering delegates from across the 3 ‘silos’ of education – K-12, post-secondary, and the workplace.

The conference is designed to be highly engaging and participatory in nature, inviting delegates, vendors and sponsors to debate, discuss and learn together about the forces acting to shape a new educational landscape in the 21st century and the promise that information and communication technologies offer in response.

Conference Themes:

  • The 21st Century - Living, Learning, and Collaborating in a Changing World – Can education lead the way to shape the future of learning in a changing world? How can we build capacity and resiliency for all learners?
  • Changing practice for changing times and changing tools –  What are the tools? What are effective pedagogies and instructional strategies?          
  • Informing Professional Practice Through Inquiry – The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - how do we know we are making a difference?
  • Understanding the Changing Characteristics of Learners – Who are the learners of the 21st century?  How do they live and learn?
  • Learning Spaces of the 21st Century – physical, virtual, mobile, interactive, collaborative
