Online Learning, Teaching, and Research in the New Media Ecology

Having attended this conference, I thought it would be easiest to use this as a way to navigate to the sessions. I also decided to attend in the moment rather than spend my time trying to multitask. Doing this took me into Wednesday of the next week to finish. I’m so excited to not only to have had the opportunity to attend this event, but also to do a presentation. When visiting the session, keynote, and plenary pages, there will be a title with a link to abstract, presenter info, and resources.
