Join us for our next GEN seminar: "Supporting Students Online"
14 November - 10 December 2000
Here's a question we all need answers to: How do we help our students
to be successful elearners?
Join Steve Scadding, Rick Nigol, and Linda Gibson of the University
of Guelph for a discussion on the design and development of online
support for online students. Learn about the process, issues,
challenges, and technical requirements for developing an online
learning portal. Share ideas and strategies for supporting learners
in online classes of all sizes.

Final days of "Teaching to Learn"
What did we learn? Well one thing is that a seminar with 20
participants from 5 different countries can make for a fascinating
experience! When asked to list what we learned during the 5 week
"Teaching to Learn" seminar, some of us gave up...There were too many
things to list!
We had record-breaking activity (last count 580 messages) and new
ideas. Special thanks to Frances Long, Walter Greyvenstein, Deborah
Kerr, and Claudio Orea for volunteering so much time and energy in
this fun and informative GEN seminar!

Were you unable to attend TeleLearning 2000 in Toronto?
The conference may be over, but thanks to some of our GEN members,
especially Dave Barr for his thoughtful summaries, the memories live
on! Conference highlights and summaries prepared by GEN members who
attended the conference are posted at:
http://www.vu.vlei.com/vu/tlnce/cgi-bin/VG/VF_dspcnf.cgi?ci=61
If you attended TeleLearning 2000 and have some notes to share,
please post them in our GEN special event conference, a place to
summarize and reflect on conference sessions.
