Join us September 15–16 for "Blended Learning: The 21st-Century Learning Environment," the ELI 2010 Online Fall Focus Session. ELI hosts two thematic online focus sessions each year.

You'll have access to resources and guided activities to help you organize a local team event or participate as an individual. Full program details are now available.

Registration for the focus session is open through September 14. ELI members receive the low members-only registration rate, thanks to their institution's membership in ELI (see the complete list of ELI benefits for more information).

Attend as a Team

Get the most out of your online event--attend as a member of a team or host a group event on your campus. Team participation can help your institution advance a current or upcoming project and encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration. Team members find that active discussion and engagement with each other during focus session activities builds rapport, solidifies plans, and enriches collaboration. By sharing a common focus session experience, participants can reflect on the implications for their campus.
