Hilton Indianapolis Hotel & Suites, Indianapolis, IN

The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) 2017 National Conference is the premier event for professionals in the distance learning industry. This year's conference (April 30 through May 3, 2017) promises to deliver an action-packed agenda that will bring together distance learning practitioners from across the country to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Opening Keynote Speaker
Elliott Masie
Chair, The Learning Consortium

The Many "E"s of e Learning!
 
The Conversation about e-Learning is Shifting!  We are taking the "E" in e-Learning and expanding from Electronic Learning to the wider set of personal and organizational dimensions.  Elliott Masie will provide a unique perspective about the following Learning Shifts:
  • "E" for Everywhere Learning - Bringing Learning to the Learner - rather than the Learner to the Learning Room.
  • "E" for Engaging Learning - Moving from Presentation to Challenging, Competitive and Cooperative Engagement of Learners.
  • "E" for Evidence and Research on Learning - Big Data, Metrics and Accountability for Learning Approaches
  • "E" for Everyone as Learners - Personalization, Machine Learning and Learners as Co-Designers
  • "E" for Experiences - Mixed Reality, Labs vs. Classrooms and Expertise from Open Sources
  • "E" for Effective Curation - The Learner and the Organization Must Curate from the Panorama of Learning Choices
Elliott will share evolving and disruptive dimensions of our opportunities in the changing world of Learning!
