Background
E-learning is continuously developing, adapting and changing the education and training world. New ideas are a fast flowing stream of potential to improve, expand and widen learning. This conference aims to bring together a range of developments from education and government to illustrate the advance of technology in education and training along with some views of future developments.
It is vital to continuously enhance your professional understanding of e-learning since it is a dynamic subject that is rapidly developing and changing. It has already moved from a group of methods that the occasional enthusiast employed to main stream use in less than a decade. It is changing education and training and it is clear that the pace of change is accelerating.
