The 2008 Higher Education Conference, a collaboration between SOCHE and GCCCU, promises to WOW attendees with a host of engaging and entertaining presentations. For the first time, this annual conference will have special sessions on the latest use of technology for improving student learning. The presentations will cover Web 2.0 technologies, including:

• Wikis
• Blogs
• Second Life
• Podcasting

Equally important, distinguished guest Dr. Mark David Milliron will speak about the new generation of learning and how it impacts baby boomers to millennial students. Blended learning, mobile devices, gaming, social networking, high-impact presentation technologies, and analytics are bringing new twists and quick turns to our on-ground and online learning environments. What else is ahead? How much more can we take? How do we retain the human touch? How do we make these learning environments sustainable?

A trustee for the Western Governors University, Dr. Milliron is an award-winning leader, author, speaker, and consultant best known for exploring leadership development, future trends, learning strategies, and the human side of technology change. In addition, he is chair of the board for the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education; the creators of the award-winning Open Education Resource Commons.
