The Illinois Association for Educational Communications and Technology (IAECT) 2012 conference will be October 26 at the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), Malcolm X College (MXC).  The theme is

“Emerging technologies and practices that enhance teaching and learning in the 21st Century”

This year’s featured keynote speaker is Dr. Ana Donaldson. She is the current AECT (Association for Educational Communications and Technology) president. She retired in 2009 as an Associate Professor of Instructional Technology from the University of Northern Iowa. Besides her years of classroom and online experience; she is a published author, keynote speaker and international presenter. She co-authored with Rita-Marie Conrad: Engaging the Online Learner:  Activities for Creative Instruction (2004 & 2011) and the newly released Continuing to Engage the Online Learner: More Activities and Resources for Creative Instruction (2012).  Ana is also a past member of IAECT from her graduate student days at Northern Illinois University (NIU), where she is a graduate of the NIU ETRA doctoral program.

IAECT is celebrating almost sixty years of service this year. IAECT expects this conference to continue the open dialogue between educational technologists and instructional technology specialists across many areas of service. Conference threads will feature combined keynote speakers, poster sessions, student and practitioner presentations, and workshop presentations. This year’s conference will address the opportunities and challenges of teaching and learning in a world that is interconnected--culturally, demographically, economically, environmentally, electronically, etc.
