JISC Online Conference
Innovating e-Learning 2010
Bringing Innovation to Life: from adversity comes opportunity
23rd - 26th November 2010
The theme of the 2010 Innovating e-Learning conference reflects the challenges presented by the current climate of economic constraint and will explore how technology-enhanced learning can help universities and colleges to develop forward-looking educational futures and continue to complete globally.
The experience
Each theme will run over 2 days and you will be able to see presenters on webcam and try out new technologies and different ideas in the Have-a-go area which showcases JISC projects and services. The informative and entertaining conference blog will once again be provided by James Clay, from Gloucestershire College. Representatives of the JISC Regional Support Centres will offer guided tours of virtual worlds and the Virtual Coffee Shop will be open all hours, providing a sense of support and community. You can follow delegates at the conference on Twitter using the tag #jiscel10.
The conference takes place in an asynchronous virtual environment which can be accessed wherever and whenever is convenient to you. The 2010 conference includes real-time sessions in Elluminate® a tool that facilitates participation and interactive online collaboration. Participating in this online conference is excellent value for money providing additional features not offered by face-to-face conferences, saving time and travel and helping you to reduce your carbon footprint.

I attended one of these on-line conferences last year (or was it 2008?). I agree they are fairly good value but one (or the University if you're lucky) still has to pay £50 and you really need to be able to get away from other duties to really engage. November may be half term for FE but it's still well inside the teaching period for HE.
It's good to get away from email, students and colleagues for an event like this. So if you can get funding to attend, try to get permission to attend from home as well!
