KEYNOTE ADDRESSES

"A Vision of What's to Come: Innovation, Collaboration, and Learning at Our Fingertips"

This keynote will explore how emerging technologies are changing the nature of the League, and by extension, the community college field at-large. The ability to strategically access innovation, effectively encourage collaboration, and powerfully improve learning is expanding options and opening possibilities like we never could have imagined. We invite you to share in this visioning process with us, as we take stock of and take steps down the road ahead.

"Convergence to Divergence"

The history of the Internet parallels that of the converging of communication technologies--a phenomenon that touches and links people in their homes, businesses and schools. Educational institutions looking for future success will leverage this convergence to offer high-tech/high touch learning opportunities.

"What's Ahead--And Behind: One Institution's Odyssey with Online Support Services"

WSU Online, the virtual campus of Weber State University in Ogden, UT, is now in its third year of operation, offering 158 courses to some 2000 students this spring. Plans and good intentions for providing student and support services have evolved through several stages since 1997. This paper will discuss that evolution, steps taken to date, and future plans.

"Distance Education's Best Kept Secrets"

In a relatively short period of time, distance education (e.g., web-supported instruction, videoconferencing, instructional television, etc.) has been transformed from a quaint irrelevancy to a lightening rod for change on many university campuses. The accompanying claims of what can and can't, should and shouldn't be done, have resulted in an ever-widening gap between the rhetoric and reality of distance education. Closing this gap can be accelerated by considering a number of "lessons learned" that guide the development and implementation of many successful distance delivered programs.
