I've been to this conference a couple of times and I am always impressed with the great information that can be gleaned from the representatives from all around the world. I have been to numerous 'International Conferences' but none of them have ever had the truly international group that this one manages to attract year after year!
I tweeted a lot more than my followers probably thought reasonable and also took some notes specific to the impending change of the LMS and the subsequent training that will accompany it. You can find all these randome notes at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qLRQS0Xt2uhU66pTj1_TY0yvsXLLZGq8K47QJZ3_tqA/edit?usp=sharing
The focus of this conference is truly the use of technology to teach, in all arenas and all forms. Most of the presenters are either faculty or instructional designers or a combination and most of the papers and presentations are very useful. The full papers are published by AACE, including my own with co-author Rachel Watson:
Watson, R. & Boggs, C (June, 2013). Is There a Virtual Edge? An Investigation of the Use of Virtual Labs to Supplement Traditional Microbiology Labs. In-Press. Proceedings of ED-MEDIA, 2013, Victoria, Canada. (Refereed)
Next year's conference will be held in Finland and I'm hoping to be able to pool some of my other conference money and attend. If it is ever in your vicinity I would encourage attendance, you won't regret it!
