Sloan-C International Conference
We invite you to submit a proposal for the 15th Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning: “The Power of Online Learning: Opportunities for Tomorrow.” The conference strongly encourages proposals that reflect the implications for the field of specific e-learning experience and practices.
