As a followup to the very successful IDEA 2004 and IDEA Summer 2005 events, the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) and Multimedia Victoria (MMV) would like to invite you to IDEA 2006, a series of e-learning events to be held at the Flinders Street Campus of Victoria University in Melbourne from 9 - 12 October, 2006.

Purpose

There is growing recognition that Australians need access to quality online educational resources and services to support learning and research. To meet this demand, educational resources and services are increasingly being used beyond the bounds of their original organisations. The IDEA 2006 events will focus on common integration and interoperability solutions that enable these types of integrated e-learning environments.

Format

IDEA 2006 is a series of workshops and forums spread over four days, each catering for slightly different audiences. For event details, please visit the DEA 2006 website: http://www.adlaustralia.org/idea2006/

Who should attend?

Those involved in planning, deploying and developing e-learning infrastructure and services for higher education. ICT managers responsible for e-learning infrastructure, vendors wishing to integrate their services into e-learning infrastructure, implementors of e-learning technology.
