Alberta Distributed Education and Technology Association

The Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIE) is hosting an international conference in 2009 entitled: Learning and Technology: A Capital Idea!

The Alberta’s ECS-12 Distributed Learning Forum: Discovering the Possibilities will be held on November 4th.

Find out all the latest about the upcoming Distributed Learning Symposium 2009 on their newly launched website! Be sure to check out the pre-conference events and keynote speakers. This promises to be a very dynamic event with a number of K-12, post-secondary and workplace professionals coming together to be a part of the exciting changes to distributed learning in Alberta.

As we move closer to the fall, we at ADETA are behind the scenes preparing to launch a new look for this website. Much of this will be happening live, so if you visit us often you've already seen some of the changes we've made to the layout. More changes are coming! They include tweaks to content, and adjustments to the graphics and design.

It's been a busy 4 months since I started as the Communications Officer for ADETA. Now that my feet are sufficiently wet and the 2008 CEL Conference is behind us, I've been taking the time to strategize the communication direction for ADETA.

Following is an update of what's happening.

The organization is officially changing its name to Alberta Distributed Education and Technology Association. In keeping with this, our aim is to focus on building a learning community to collaborate on issues related to distributed learning. That community includes professionals from K-12, post-secondary and workplace environments.
