Meaningful Living and Learning in a Digital World in SAVANNAH - May 2015!

You are invited to engage in a meeting which explores one of the most important issues of our era - how to live and learn with technology in ways that add authentic value to our lives and to the world. As we embrace the conveniences of emerging technologies in the classroom and beyond, we will explore ways to employ them with a people-centered approach that includes balance, compassion, healthy living, mindfulness and relationships. The conference is sponsored by The Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration and the University of West Georgia.

The call for proposals is now open. Please plan to join us for three days of inquiry and peaceful rejuvenation in a scholarly environment.

65% of Students Have Opted Not to Buy a Textbook Due to Cost

University Business reports that the textbook industry is in for a dramatic change, with the average student spending $1200 per year on course materials. While the textbook industry shows signs of working hard to change their business model, our response at USG eCore has to team faculty to create online content, free to students. Appears to already be paying off in terms of student success.
