Dear Commons Community,

Yesterday the Online Learning Consortium (formerly the Alfred P. Sloan Consortium) posted the full program for its 2017 ACCELERATE Conference to be held November 15-17 in Orlando, Florida.  This conference is the premier online learning event of the year sponsored by the top organization for all things in online education.  Here is a blurb from its website:

“In 2017, you won’t be able to have a dialogue about higher education without discussing, in part, online learning. It’s one of the fastest growing sectors in education today, and as the pace of growth accelerates, we’d like to invite you to OLC Accelerate, the premier global gathering covering this field.

We chose the name OLC Accelerate because this conference is devoted to driving quality online learning, advancing best practice guidance and accelerating innovation in learning for academic leaders, educators, administrators, online learning professionals and organizations around the world.

Following the success of 2016’s OLC Accelerate , the 2017 conference will be the ultimate event to network with—and learn from—thousands of your eLearning peers.

As always, this international conference promises outstanding keynote speakers, expanded programs, and engaging workshops. Our ever popular Technology Test Kitchen and Discovery sessions will once again deliver the opportunity to interact with experts in new and emerging eLearning technologies and topics, reinforcing why online educators worldwide affirm that OLC Accelerate is the premiere conference for online learning professionals.

Our curation of conference tracks and exhibits promises a cross section of timely eLearning topics, offering something for everyone involved in providing the highest quality educational experiences in 2017.”

Don’t miss it if you are at all interested in the pedagogy and practice of online education.
