From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\n I am honored to be currently serving on the 2018 Advisory Council for the Next Generation Learning Spaces Conference<\/strong> with a great group of people. Missing — at least from my perspective — from the image below is Kristen Tadrous, Senior Program Director with the Corporate Learning Network. Kristen has done a great job these last few years planning and running this conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE:
\nThe above graphic reflects a recent change for me. I am still an Adjunct Faculty Member
\nat Calvin College, but I am no longer a Senior Instructional Designer there.
\nMy brand is centered around being an Instructional Technologist.

This national conference will be held in Los Angeles, CA on February 26-28, 2018. It is designed to help institutions of higher education develop highly-innovative cultures <\/strong>— something that’s needed in many institutions of traditional higher education right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have attended the first 3 conferences and I moderated a panel at the most recent conference out in San Diego back in February\/March of this year. I just want to say that this is a great conference and I encourage you to bring a group of people<\/em> to it from your organization!<\/strong> I say a group of people<\/em> because a group of 5 of us (from a variety of departments) went one year and the result of attending the NGLS Conference was a brand new Sandbox Classroom — an active-learning based, highly-collaborative learning space where faculty members can experiment with new pedagogies as well as with new technologies. The conference helped us discuss things as a diverse group, think out load, come up with some innovative ideas, and then build the momentum to move forward with some of those key ideas.
