| Milton Keynes is about 50 miles from the international airport in London. During a layover of several hours, we went sightseeing in London |
Themes include the following:
Strategies for the future of continuous professional development
Open education and widening participation
Research and innovation for new modes of teaching and learning
Higher Education for a diverse future
Engaging students for learning at all stages of life
Policies for change in Higher Education
Quality assurance and accreditation of online and blended higher education
The scope of the conference will fall on the change and transformation that was brought to higher education based on e-learning and online learning (yes, this is the two terms, stated next to each other in the conference announcement - maybe the first step we need to take on the path towards looking at the university of the future is to sort out and educate academics on the use and meaning of terms). New models for teaching and learning create exciting opportunities to enhance the quality and impact of learning on students both on and off campus.
The conference announcement on the web does not include fees and registration dates.
Keep in Mind that the ICDE conference will also take place in October, two weeks before this conference, and the venue for the 2017 conference is Toronto, Canada. So, for my South African Colleagues, if possible, try to link two or more international conferences close to each other in dates and make the most of the grant money. I normally ask for financial assistance to go to the most expensive conference and then pay for the less expensive one myself - it is also normally cheaper if you do not present at these complementary conferences.
