formerly University of Missouri-Rolla
Teaching and Learning Technology Conference 2008

UPDATE:  Presentations available on our Presentation Abstracts page.  Click the "View Presentation" link next to the presentation you are interested in.  Most presentations are in PDF format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (this is available on all IT-managed campus machines).

The conference is now over.  We would like to thank all of the following:

  • The presenters who gave excellent presentations on a wide variety of educational technologies in use on this campus.
  • The vendors who contributed to the conference with door prizes, paid for all of the food, and those who brought samples of their technology for show.
  • The campus organizations who also showed off what services they have to offer, as well as those who also contributed in a more material way to the success of the conference.
  • Everyone who volunteered their time and effort to help out during the conference.
  • And finally, all of the people who attended the conference.  Without you, this conference would not have been the success it was.

We are looking forward to doing this again next year!
