“Learning 2005 is the gathering of the expanding field of professionals interested in and intrigued by learning. I invite you to join me in creating the next generation of a conference focused on the wide, wide world of learning. The world does not need another training or e-Learning trade show. We need to better understand how our workforce (and customers) will learn in this changing world.” http://www.learning2005.com/

“In response to the increasing demands on higher education, institutions are finding creative ways to use e-learning and other technology-supported services. Can some of the best practices from institutions around the world inspire a new image for higher education in a global economy? Can we develop a cohesive vision for a new academic ecosystem that incorporates what we have discovered about elearning, both from our past errors and “e-llusions” and our current successes in policy, pedagogy, and services?” This conference addresses these questions and more. http://conference.wcet.info/2005/
