Toronto, Ontario, Canada happens to be located squarely on planet Earth and is connected to the Internet. That, along with the fact that it’s a delightful city, makes Toronto a fitting place to hold The World Conference of Online Learning.
Virtually Connecting will be coming to you from the ICDE World Conference of Online Learning in Toronto, Canada from October 16th to 20th, 2017. We are excited to offer opportunities to connect virtually to the event and converse with the people at the conference. We have onsite buddies Helen DeWaard, Terry Greene, Jenni Hayman, and Jim Stauffer connecting you through virtual buddies Ken Bauer, Joseph Murphy and Mandy Honeyman.
Virtually Connecting sessions allow virtual participants to engage in conversations with onsite participants – it’s mostly informal, like a conference hallway chat. If you’re interested in joining any of the Virtually Connecting sessions, please sign up using this form. Tweet us @vconnecting or leave a comment below if you have any questions. Title times are local to the conference site – scroll below to find the times adjusted for your time zones and the links to watch the sessions live or recorded, if you can’t make it into the session itself.
