Launched in 2003, the Canadian e-Learning Conference has developed into an engaging venue for practitioners, instructors, administrators, and students alike to share ideas and evidence on technology enhanced learning and teaching.

The University of Alberta is pleased to host CeLC 2010: rEvolution. On the one hand, revolution is a marker of radical change, progress, and new and innovative thinking; on the other, revolution speaks to the cyclical nature of time and progress, where a full revolution (of a wheel, even of the globe) brings us back to where we began. Within “revolution” however, we find “evolution,” reminding us that change can happen incrementally and at a much more guarded and methodical pace. Each connotation gives us fruitful ways to think through the relationships among teaching, learning, discovery, and technology.

We invite you to submit a proposal to the 2010 conference. Like e-Learning tools, the program is flexible and allows for innovation. Proposals must specify one of the conference formats listed below, and are encouraged to engage with one of the key

Conference Themes

Imagine the Possibilities <> The near and distant futures of e-Learning. What will e-Learning be like in 20 years? Tomorrow?

Reality Check <> How feasible is innovation in e-Learning? Rooted in current realities and, where possible, based on evidence-based practice.

Keeping Our Feet on the Ground <> “Teaching is teaching.” How should the scholarship of teaching drive developments in e-Learning?

We’re Listening <> We strongly encourage student presenters to share how they understand, critique, and analyse their relationship to e-Learning.

Case Studies and Demonstrations <> These sessions highlight specific experiences with e-Learning : specific assignments, courses, or innovations.

We particularly encourage submissions under the headings “My best failure” and “My greatest success.”
