Thanks for helping make our 2018 event a success!
Our 5th annual Rutgers University–Camden Faculty eLearning Conference took place on March 1, 2018.
Eighty-five percent of faculty who attended plan to incorporate new technological tools and/or pedagogical methods in their teaching, according to the post-conference survey. Survey participants indicated they plan to begin using a variety of tools in their classrooms: student polling tools, social media, Adobe Spark, OER, and VoiceThread.
Overall, our 2018 attendees had a positive learning experience at the conference. Here are some examples of comments:
- “I really liked the format. I enjoyed the short, engaging sessions that provided a wide array of topics to choose from.”
- “I thought the conference was amazing. I really enjoy when something is well organized and runs so smoothly. I think one of the best features was that each session was only 30 minutes, which enabled the presenters to have low-stress and the attendees to see a variety of sessions as opposed to seeing only 1 or 2. It was really run beautifully and breakfast and lunch were much appreciated. It was an enjoyable, professional, and academic day.”
- “This was a great conference, well organized with a lot of informative speakers and conversations. Thank you so much for hosting and organizing it.”
- “I really enjoyed the conference and took away something new from each session I attended. Great job! I’m already looking forward to next year’s conference.”
