The 21st Annual NUTN Conference on Digital Learning Munches on the ‘Whole Enchilada’
The recipe for the ‘whole enchilada’ includes plenary, panel and concurrent sessions focusing on student services, wireless technology, e-Learning costs, virtual partnerships, corporate training & education, communication methods & techniques and military education. NUTN 2003, a wonderful professional development opportunity, spans over a 2 1/2 day period and covers the whole nine yards of topics to chose from. Conference participants will gain valuable knowledge, new tools and a year’s worth of great ideas that can be put into action as soon as they return to campus.
Highlights of this year’s conference include keynote speakers Don W. Brown, Commissioner of Higher Education for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, who will address, “The Role of Digital and Distance Learning in Closing the Gaps in Texas” during the opening session; Gary A. Woods, Chief, Department of Defense (DoD) Continuing Education Programs, who will lead with, “Military Education: Bigger ‘N Texas,” followed by presentations from panelists from Central Texas College, University of the Incarnate Word and Dallas County Community College District; and during the closing session, Donald M. Norris, Ph.D. will present, “e-Knowledge Comes to Campus.” Steven D. Crow, Executive Director of the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, is the recipient of this year’s NUTN Distinguished Service Award and will make a special presentation following an awards luncheon on June 2.
