August 2002 | We're co-hosting the Learning Object Symposium: Creating a Culture of Learning Object Design September 5th-6th in Menlo Park, California USA. Come learn more about the issues, opportunities, and challenges that learning designers face as the evolving worlds of content creation, digital resource management, e-Learning, and knowledge management converge. The event is designed to bring learning object stakeholders together to begin defining new directions of learning object design practice. Our goal is to promote and encourage the adoption of learning object designs as a cornerstone for e-Learning and knowledge management implementations. Partners include SRI Business Intelligence, The eLearning Guild, and eLearning Forum.
 Ellen Wagner and Marcia Conner are facilitating an advanced workshop on Leveraging learning objects: Current status and future directions at the 18th Annual Conference on Distance Teaching & Learning in Madison, Wisconsin August 14-16.
