From DSC:

  • From any administrator’s and instructional technologist’s standpoint, this relates to students’ expectations — whether that be in elementary, secondary, or postsecondary learning environments. This also relates to the corporate world as students make their way through their educations and then hit the workplace. They will bring their expectations with them. Are we ready to meet them where they are at?

mLearning DevCon 2011 Conference Backchannel: Collected Resources #mlearningdevcon — from Misadventures in Learning by David Kelly

Excerpt:

I am a huge proponent of backchannel learning.  There are many conferences I would love to be able to attend, but my budget can only accomodate one or two each year.  The backchannel is an excellent resource for learning from a conference or event that you are unable to attend in-person (emphasis DSC).

I find collecting collecting and reviewing backchannel resources to be a valuable learning experience for me, even when I am attending a conference in person.  Sharing these collections on this blog has shown that others find value in the collections as well.

This post collects the resources shared via the backchannel of the mLearning DevCon 2011, held October 5-7 in the New York Metro area.
