Using technology to bridge the virtual gap

Over the last 30 years, e-learning has evolved from the �books on the screen� concept to interactive, real-time, leader-led, voice over internet protocol virtual classrooms. We�ve come a long way, and we�ve learned a lot. In this session, Julia Gluck and Ken Ainsworth, Principals at Plug In To Learning, will share experiences and learning gained in the world of virtual classrooms and integrate that learning with the growing body of knowledge in this very exciting and evolving frontier. This session will address what key factors must be considered to enable a group of learners, who have never met face-to-face and who will be working virtually for the duration of their course, to be successful in achieving their desired learning outcomes.
