Heppell Helps eLearning Network Celebrate 25 Years

London (UK), October 2012 - Stephen Heppell, one of Europe's leading online-education experts is to provide the keynote session at the eLearning Network's landmark 25th birthday celebration in London. The event, to be held on 06 December at the Museum of London, will showcase the very best that eLearning has to offer, and provide 120 attendees with opportunities for learning, discussion, and networking.




With a host of eminent positions at the University of Wales, the University of Bournemouth, and Anglia Ruskin University, Heppell will host a session exploring the impact of technology on learning at the London event. It is a fitting part of a programme designed to celebrate the past 25 years of the eLearning Network whilst looking ahead to what the next quarter century might bring.


Rob Hubbard, Chair of the eLearning Network, commented, "We couldn't be more delighted to be joined by Stephen Heppell. He is really at the forefront of using technology in learning and education and has both witnessed and affected so much change in his career. His keynote is bound to be the highlight of the day."


Hubbard continued, "We really wanted to celebrate this momentous occasion, not just in our history but in the history of eLearning in the UK. So much has happened in the past 25 years: We're looking forward to a short trip down memory lane coupled with a look ahead at some of the very latest that learning technology has to offer now and will offer in the future. Oh, and the champagne and cake should also add a welcome note to the proceedings!"


Fittingly, the event is being strongly supported by the learning and development community. Companies including GoodPractice, Epic, Unicorn, Upside Learning, and MKC Training Services are helping the eLearning Network put on the event. They will form part of a showcase of the very latest in learning innovation through a mix of short demonstrations and a small hands-on exhibition area.
