The event features plenary presentations, open forums, a full-day workshop, a series of other workshops, special interest group meetings, and parallel presentations.
The draft programme is now online, and an early-bird registration fee is available until the 31st of August.
The theme of this year's "iLearning Forum" is 'Integrated learning: embedding learning technologies for individual and organisational development'. Join international learning- professional colleagues to encounter and explore state-of-the-art practice in the use of technology for education and the development and management of human resources.
This year's event will be enriched by a parallel event, the first francophone and international conference on the recognition and validation of achievement and competencies, in cooperation with the organisers of the major Montreal conference on the same theme (RAC 2006 and RAC 2008).
