Just got back from conferences in Long Beach California, and it sure was a great experience. At ITC eLearn there were some innovative approaches Sinclair Community College shared for online, interactive virtual labs that our faculty found promising. One aspect that I found nice was the fact that they had built some mobile learning applications for these labs. Nice work...
My Florida State College at Jacksonville team [Global Learning Solutions GLS] received an award for outstanding and effective use of technology for one of our mobile course designs we did for deployed Navy students. The team worked hard on this and I was very appreciative and grateful to receive the award for their hard work and dedication.
Lastly, we had a chance to visit the Long Beach Aquarium and La Brea Tar Pits [images below] which was a first for all of us. What a great learning experience! I have to say the traffic in LA was horrible, but I would come back to Long Beach anytime! It was great to see people, young and old, speeding around on skateboards everywhere. :)
