Subject: Research in Distance Education conference
To: CDE <cde@london.ac.uk>
Dear Colleague,
The Research in Distance Education 2010 conference took place last week and was a great success, with some fascinating speakers and lively discussion around the title of Research in Distance Education: Impact on practice, and the three strand themes: Design for Learning, Supporting Teaching and Learning, and Assessment.
Thanks must go out to the keynotes, speakers and strand presenters for their involvement during the day, to the strand leaders for facilitating the parallel sessions, and, of course, everyone who attended for helping to make a success of the event.
There are several post-conference links below for those of you who were able to attend, anyone who missed particular sessions they were interested in, and the few people who unfortunately could not make it:
· If you attended some or all of the conference we’d be grateful if you could take five minutes to give us some feedback to help us improve things for next year: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RIDE2010
· All the presentations slides from the day can be viewed here: http://www.slideshare.net/CdeLondon
· Photos from the event can be seen here:
· Summary reports and conference proceedings will be made available soon.
Finally, for anyone who did not get the opportunity to pick up an application form for the 2010-11 round of Teaching and Research Awards, which was launched at the conference, a copy of the form is enclosed (please note, this is open to staff of University of London Colleges only).
Kind regards
Tom Inkelaar
