Dear Commons Community,

OLC’s ACCELERATE Conference is in full swing. Yesterday I attended sessions on adaptive learning, blended learning, and gamification.  The keynote given by game designer and author Jane McGonigal was a provocative look at gaming and its proliferation in the not-too-distant future.  Twelve of us went out for dinner at a Japanese restaurant and congratulated Peter Shea who had just received word from his provost that he was promoted to full professor.  Congratulations, Peter.

I will be doing a session today entitled,  Theories and Frameworks for Online Education: Seeking an Integrated Model.  Below is the abstract, time and place.  Please stop by if you are at the conference. I would love to see you!

Tony

The purpose of this presentation is to examine theoretical frameworks relevant to the pedagogical aspects of online education.
