| Collaborative Learning 2004 begins on January 13 with three keynote presentations. Each day, new conference rooms open where additional keynote presenters deliver streaming presentations and engage in online dialogue with attendees. The conference ends on January 15 with concluding comments by the presenters and participants that describe best practices and implications for the future of the online learning and collaboration. |

| The conference opens with a real-time online web conference that provides
an overview of the week followed by a keynote presentation from Jay Cross on the
future of e-Learning. Since most of the remaining presentations are recorded and
can be viewed anytime, the conference program is very flexible. Login at any time
that fits your schedule and access speaker presentations, post questions or comments,
and network with others. Because the interaction and dialogue occurs over three-days,
you can participate at any time that fits your schedule, day or night. |
