Dear Commons Community,

I would like to call your attention to the 18th Annual Sloan Consortium International Conference on Online Learning which will be held on October 10-12, 2012, at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort – Lake Buena Vista, Florida.  The theme this year is At A Crossroads: Online Education in a Complex World.   The keynote address will be delivered by Sebastian Thrun, CEO of Udacity and Director of Google X.   His presentation will center on the rise of MOOCs and their potential to create incredible opportunities for mass participation and collaboration in education.

In my opinion, the Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning is the premier forum for approaching the complex issues and opportunities that face all concerned with the role of technology in supporting education.

The early bird registration ends this Friday.

Tony
