| Distributed
learning has the potential
to enrich existing classrooms as well as to allow institutions
and businesses to meet the diverse needs of a variety of audiences
and purposes, ranging along the continuum from early childhood,
K-S4, literacy, post-secondary, through adult and workplace
learning. The trick, however, is to harness this potential by
using technology appropriately to achieve your learning outcomes.
That is what this conference is all about! The
fourth annual conference of the Manitoba Association for Distributed
Learning and Training (MADLaT) is titled "Technology
& Learning: What Can We Do with IT?" The conference
title and theme are focused on helping you as a professional
consider ways in which technology can be used to promote learning
– in traditional classrooms, blended learning and corporate
training settings and distance education environments. Attendees
will learn practical ways to integrate distributed learning
technologies into their daily teaching and learning practices. |
Who
should attend? Anyone
with an interest in using educational technology for teaching
and learning. People from K-S4, colleges, universities, and
private education/training companies plus those in business,
industry, government, NGOs, and associations who have a responsibility
around education and training.
Streams
The three streams of the MADLaT
conference reflect our diverse community of practitioners
– K-S4, Postsecondary and Business. Presentations address
how learning technologies can be used to promote distributed
teaching and learning. The half-day pre-conference workshops
provide opportunities for in-depth immersion in the topics.
On Thursday evening, the "Cracker Barrel Session"
is an opportunity to discuss and network with colleagues throughout
the province. With a total of 24 concurrent sessions in three
time slots at the conference on Friday, you will have no difficulty
finding at least three sessions related to your professional
development interests.
