SUMMARY:AECT Bi-Annual Research Symposium: The Next Generation of Educ
 ation: Unconstrained Learning
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd bi-annual Association for Educational Communicatio
 ns and Technology (AECT) Research Symposium is soliciting research-sup
 ported papers concerning the next generation of distance education for
  presentation, debate, discussion, and future publication in a book by
  Springer Press. Ideally, the symposium will bring together scholars, 
 theorists, researchers, and other creative thinkers for an intimate co
 nversation about their research into the next generation of distance e
 ducation and the principles that should guide effective practice and r
 esearch as we advance toward to a new learning landscape unconstrained
  by time and space.\n\nThis call presupposes that we have reached a ti
 pping-point where the world of education is being radically altered an
 d that change is being driven by technology, openness, and unprecedent
 ed access to knowledge. Older correspondence-style methods of instruct
 ional delivery are passé and “classroom adapted to the web” appro
 aches to learning are often ineffective and do little to harness the t
 ransformational potential of technology. E-Learning scenarios, mobile 
 technologies, communication and information access, and personal learn
 ing environments (that were unthinkable just a few years ago) are beco
 ming mainstream and, as a result, control of the learning process is s
 hifting away from institutions and into the hands of learners.\n\nSpec
 ifically, the focus of the symposium is to identify research-supported
  ways to harness the power of new technologies and new ideas to improv
 e distance learning. The research presented will be critiqued, discuss
 ed, refined, and will ultimately culminate in an edited volume that wi
 ll be published to promote a forward-thinking agenda for research and 
 scholarship that highlights new ideas, deep insights, and novel approa
 ches to “unconstrained” learning.\n\nOverview\nIt is the goal of t
 he symposium to gather together a select group of scholars to share re
 search for real dialogue and deep discussions regarding fresh distance
  learning perspectives and ideas. The symposia will begin July 20, 201
 0 with a dinner and end on July 23, 2010 before noon. It will be held 
 at the Memorial Union Hotel of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indi
 ana. Conference fee (with included meals) is expected to run around $2
 50.\n\nFormat\nProposals/presentation abstracts will be accepted, thro
 ugh electronic submission via the AECT website, until January 15th, 20
 10. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be sent by February 15, 
 2010.\n\nFor more details, please visit http://www.aect.org/events/sym
