Sloan-C Online Research Education Symposia

The Sloan-C Online Research Education Symposia in 2012 are a series of 4 interactive presentations on research of critical importance to educators engaged in advancing online and blended education. The symposia will familiarize participants with the current research in each topic via multiple perspectives and emerging trends. Participants can pursue particular aspects of the topics via focused discussions and questions to the presenters.
The symposia begins with an asynchronous two-week period for selected readings and activities. The two weeks prepare for the live, online meeting with panelists who will present the most important research and then engage in a conversation with participants. Panelists will support their perspectives with qualitative and quantitative evidence including institutional and pedagogical research.
After the panel, activities will center on discussion forums and the development of special interest communities who may collaborate on developing publications, conference presentations, or grant proposals.
Symposia will be online and at no cost for participants. The panel presentation will be in Blackboard Collaborate and recorded for future viewing.
