AECT International Conference - Association for Educational Communications and Technology November 3, 2008

This year's convention theme is On the Horizon: Rays of Change. As part of this theme, proposals may be submitted that include presenting both in real time and simultaneously in Second Life. The view of the horizon represents the current and potential visions of the individual and unique pieces of our profession that, in the light of day, create rays of continuously changing yet integrated patterns of practice. These rays surround both instructors and learners with a new culture of learning, a society growing out of the practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. Supporting the main theme are five sub-themed “rays”:

(Ray 1) Virtual Worlds and Mobile Learning
(Ray 2) Serious Gaming for Education
(Ray 3) Educational Transformation
(Ray 4) Professional Ethics
(Ray 5) Instructional Design Culture
