Subject to Change. Last Updated April 29, 2005

Online Conference Format
Due to expected participation from institutions around the world, the majority of the conference will be conducted in an asychronous discussion format. This format will be supplemented with live online events scheduled to accommodate as many time zones as possible. In addition, we are encouraging institutions with several people attending to schedule local face-to-face sessions to assist staff in logging into the conference, getting oriented to the online conference format, and to provide any needed technical support.

Planning Your Time
For each strand you want to attend, plan to spend about an hour a day participating in the discussion and reading the presentations. Budget your time to attend the conference based on how many strands you want to attend. If you plan to be online much of the day during the conference, consider being a volunteer!

Participation Record
If you need to show evidence of participation in the conference to your supervisor or administrator, use these instructions at the end of the conference to print a record of your login and discussion activity.
Administrators: If you need additional documentation, you may wish to have your staff keep a participation log with time spent and activities completed. The conference will have more materials than one person could access or explore during the four days and will be open after the conference for exploration. A self-reported participation log plus the Desire2Learn login/viewing/posting record should provide sufficient documentation.

Definitions
Strands: Each strand is in one forum with one or more asynchronous discussion topic spaces with discussion ongoing throughout conference.
Strand Facilitators: Are responsible for asynchronous discussion, facilitate discussion of big questions for that strand and facilitate discussion of presentations.
Presentations: Papers, websites written up as a workshop or presentation, or stand-alone PowerPoints.
Live Events: Live presentations or discussions of presented material. Includes Q&A with presenters. May also include live brainstorm discussions on strand topic.
