Subject: Virtual/Corporate Universities and e-Learning Conferences
Jeanne Meister, president of Corporate University Xchange(CUX), who I
interviewed in the July/August 2000 issue of The Technology Source
(http://horizon.unc.edu/TS/vision/2000-07.asp) on the topic of corporate
universities, asked me to mention the first two CUX events of 2001. She
has offered a registration discount to TS readers.
The first conference is in San Francisco February 4-7 titled "Designing a
Virtual University: Strategies for Enterprise-wide e-Learning." The second
will be held in Las Vegas, May 5-9 and is titled "Corporate Universities
2001: Benchmarks for Learning in the Digital Economy." Descriptions of
the San Francisco and Las Vegas programs may be found at
http://www.corpu.com/conferences/sf2001/sf2001home.html and
http://www.corpu.com/conferences/lv2001/lv2001index.html respectively.
I was impressed during my interview with Jeanne that there are currently
more than 1,600 organizations titled "corporate universities," "corporate
colleges," or "institutes for learning." She expects this number to rise
to more than 2,000 in the next few years, and forecasts that by the year
2010 or so, corporate universities will outnumber traditional
universities. Both conferences feature today's most successful corporate
sector learning innovators addressing the issues that e-learners and those
organizations making the transition to e-learning are confronting and how
we can use this information to design online learning courses and
programs.
Jeanne offered the discount because she wants to influence the mix of
people at the conferences (corporate and traditional educator). If you are
interested in attending either conference, forward this email note to the
CUX's registrar, Christine Schmidt (cschmidt@corpu.com), telling her which
conference you want to attend. Christine will offer you the discount on
registration.
Best.
Jim
