The deadline for conference abstracts will be November 15, 2012 (very soon, so get your abstract in now!). While the presentations and subsequent articles need to be supported by relevant academic research, the main focus should be on practical applications of eLearning that augment, modify and ultimately redefine learning.

Presentations will cover a range of technology-related topics, including web-based and mobile learning applications, online learning management, ePortfolios, blended-learning delivery and faculty and student/faculty digital technology training programs. It is expected that the use of iPads in the learning environment will feature heavily.
