welcome to the heartland elearning conference
Rock out your eLearning at the Heartland eLearning Conference! Whether you are just learning to strum or are an eLearning rock star, this conference will have something for you. Held on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma, the Heartland eLearning Conference will bring together experts and novices in an environment of sharing and fun to learn about the latest tools and trends in eLearning. On March 7 and 8, 2011, the Heartland eLearning Conference is the place to see and be seen for eLearning professionals!
Who should attend?
The Heartland eLearning Conference offers is intended to meet the needs of professionals who have an interest in eLearning. The target audience is anyone involved in the development, delivery, implementation, and management of e-Learning. The conference will focus on the tools, technologies, strategies and techniques for developing e-Learning and on the management of eLearning within organizations including higher education, K-12, non-profit, and for-profit companies. Sessions will be geared to a variety of skill levels.
Why should you attend?
The Heartland eLearning Conference is unique because it is a mid-size conference with a mix of people from various sectors and industries. The conference is big enough to have great presenters but small enough to have an intimate, collegial feel. And the rock and roll theme including live music from UCO’s Academy of Contemporary Music (a.k.a. School of Rock) will ensure a fun, relaxed learning environment. All of this for less than the price of a ticket to a U2 concert!
