Dancing With the Devil: Information Technology and the New Competition in Higher Education

Information technology and communications are reshaping the world around us and is redefining some of the very roles played by our societies key institutions. These new technologies are making it possible to deliver information and services, including education, any time, any where, and in any fashion. Continued

Overview:
On-Line, technology assisted learning. Training and Education via the World Wide Web. More and more educators are doing it. More and more students are demanding it. And more and more questions are coming up.

How does Web-based education compare with "traditional" educational venues? How do you foster the sense of campus community online, with students and educators who may never meet face-to-face? How do you make Web technology work to support learning - and not the other way around?

The North American Web-based Learning Conference, 2001, will focus on innovative and practical uses of the World Wide Web in teaching and learning, extending the reach of existing campuses and creating "virtual" campuses of a new and unique nature.

Who should attend? - Those people involved. The ones doing it and making the decisions:

• Instructors and Professors
• Administrators
• IT Directors
• Academic VPs and Deans

Take a look at last year's papers to get a feel for what has gone on at this conference in the last six years. NAWeb was the very first conference designed totally for those who are developing or delivering web-based teaching and learning.
