CiTE 2008 Agenda

Learning Tracks

To reach the individual members of every eLearning team, CiTE 2008 has targeted the following Learning Tracks for this year’s breakout sessions. Though the tracks support the needs of specific team members, each track will be open to all CiTE attendees.

Inventive Technology in eLearning – new and exciting methods of technology use for reaching and engaging students online.

Teaching and Learning – approaches to teaching students online and developments in our understanding of learning.

Administrative Solutions – best practices and methods for driving retention, growth and efficiency of online programs.

eCollege – exciting updates to the eCollege platform’s course delivery system and administration suite.

Content Solutions – demonstrations and best practices for increasing student success and program efficiency with third-party content.

The CiTE 2008 Learning Tracks outlined above are designed to suit the different roles of your online education team. CiTE can benefit every member of that team, so eCollege has designed multiple registration packages—the most cost-efficient packages provide group discount rates.
