Five Elements of Exceptional Technology Enhanced Learning
1:15 - 2:30
As world economies continue to face uncertainty, the opportunity for high-quality and cost-effective eLearning has never been greater. Stephen Laster will share how to "get back to basics" and concentrate on creating instructionally sound experiences that leverage the power and reach of today's collaborative technologies. Through thoughtful design, we can collectively deliver on the true potential of the apex of teaching, learning and technology.

Lessons and Outcomes from University of Minnesota's Future Classrooms
3:00 - 4:15
Are you looking to the future in classroom design? The University of Minnesota did just that by constructing two pilot classrooms designed as student-centered, integrated, flexible learning spaces. Goals of the pilot included stimulating interest in innovative classrooms, demonstrating new flexible classroom construction techniques and formal faculty and student assessment of new classroom designs and pedagogy. Come hear the lessons learned, outcomes and pedagogical impact of these forward-looking classrooms.

Immersive Technology Platform Standards: Sharing Your World
4:45 - 6:00
As institutions venture onto new virtual ground, they focus on the immersive experiences they are opening up to their students. But how will institutions share their work in immersive education more generally, and how do they know that their development efforts can be leveraged in the future? This session examines emerging standards for immersive environments, and considers the issues technology and academic leaders on campus should consider as they explore the amazing opportunities of immersive education.
