10 and 11 November, Mooloolaba, Queensland
Join us for the eighth Learning Technologies conference to investigate new and emerging learning technologies and their use.
Combine your presence with like-minded practitioners for three days and attend a variety of presentations, workshops and social activities that will provide an excellent opportunity to extend your knowledge, expand your thinking and create new contacts.
On Wednesday we will be hosting optional extra workshops.
This conference is highly recommended for not just Australian educators, but anyone interested in learning about the future of education. A superb experience!
Prof. E. Tywoniak, Chair, Department of Communication Saint Mary's College of California, USA
It is now commonplace for our learners to be virtually combined in real time - some with us, some in the next town, some halfway across the country and yet others halfway around the world. In addition, recent and emerging technologies allow us to track, organise and pursue learners across virtual time and place. Conversely, they too can track, organise and pursue various combinations of themselves and us, their teachers.
This year's conference explores the concept of 'combined presence' and the effect that this will have on our teaching and learning communities.
A really well organised and useful conference. Anybody interested in using technology to enhance their delivery should attend this event.

The Learning Technologies conference brings technology into clear focus and reminds us that at all times the goal is enhanced learning. You will not leave this conference without being challenged to improve your use of technology and improve the learning outcome for your learners.
Dennis Clark, Queensland University of Technology
Technological 'presence' allows users to know who is available and what form of communication device they are currently able to use. Presence is applicable to almost every form of electronic communication - landline phones, mobile phones, video phones, pagers, laptops, PCs and PDA's. It incorporates and integrates data, audio and video communication.
These questions and more will be addressed at Learning Technologies 2005, along with practical tips from our case studies and demonstrations from our rich exhibitor community.
The Learning Technologies Conference opened my awareness to the world of real-time distance education and training and the up-to-date easy to use and time saving systems available.

This year teams debate the topic 'Technological Presence; How Much is Too Much?' and tease out the pros and cons of the possible impacts that the expansion of communication technology will have on teachers and students alike. Find out more ...
Throughout the program we bring you information and demonstrations of the latest learning technologies. Take the opportunity to get involved during the breaks!
The Learning Technologies Conference highlighted the different media available to educators; as well as provided practical demonstrations of their application.
