Overview:

We know there is no significant difference when comparing face-to-face teaching and learning with teaching and learning via the World Wide Web. But - we want to go beyond no significant difference - we want to strive for excellence in teaching and learning, for best practices and for innovative learning opportunities. If you feel the same way, then NAWeb 2004 - The Web-Based Learning Conference is for you!

How do you make Web-based education even better than "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, 2004, 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.
