IGI Global will be exhibiting at the upcoming AERA conference from April 30th to May 4th. Come visit the IGI Global booth (number 611/613) to review our new e-resources platform and browse through a selection of books and journals from a number of esteemed scholarly authors.
IGI Global is also proud to host:
Collaborative Environments and Collaborative Technologies for Supporting Educator and Business Professional Learning, with Janet Salmons and Donna Russell
“E-learning” and “collaboration” are two popular concepts that are more complex than is apparent on first take. To mesh them - collaborative e-learning - requires careful thought, planning and facilitation as well as appropriate technology tools (and the skills to use them.) In this session we will discuss our respective research and experience in online collaboration and learning.
