ELI Annual Meeting
Each year in late January, the ELI community comes together to explore, network, and grow. A combination of plenary presentations, interactive sessions, and workshops—plus plenty of time to visit with colleagues—ensures that the ELI Annual Meeting brings lasting value to participants. ELI also encourages institutions to maximize the value they receive from the conference by sending institutional teams. Team participation facilitates shared learning and enhances the potential for collaborative initiatives back on campus based on ideas gained at the meeting.
As a membership benefit, representatives from ELI institutions enjoy members-only registration rates for the annual meeting —$400 before the early registration deadline and $430 after it. These rates represent a significant discount from the non-member rates of $845 before the early registration deadline and $875 after it.
We limit the size of the meeting to ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, and it usually fills quickly. Don't forget to register early to ensure your participation.
ELI conducts in-depth workshops on two topics each year. Focus sessions help participants develop a deeper understanding of a topic and gain practical knowledge that can be applied on campus. As with the annual meeting, institutions are encouraged to facilitate this process through team participation.
Representatives from ELI member institutions have access to discounted, members-only registration rates for ELI focus sessions—$375 before the early registration deadline and $400 after it. Non-member focus session rates are $500 before the early registration deadline and $525 after it.
We limit the size of these events to ensure a high-quality experience for all who participate. This means that the focus sessions often fill quickly, so register early.
ELI hosts Web Seminars, which are Webconferencing events that focus on topics of interest to the ELI community. Participants can join ELI Web Seminars live and ask questions of the presenters or chat with other participants. They can also access archived seminars to view at their convenience. Only ELI members are able to participate in the live Web Seminars; access to the seminar archive is also restricted to members for 6 months from the seminar date, after which time ELI will make the archive publicly available.
ELI Web Seminars offer another venue for professional development. Even if you are a regular annual meeting or focus session attendee, ELI Web Seminars allow you to expand on the learning that takes place at our face-to-face events. In 2008, ELI is hosting the following Web Seminars:
Community-Generated Media – David Vogt, Executive Director of the Mobile MUSE Network and Director of Digital Learning Projects, Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia; CEO, CrowdTrust Technologies Inc.

Active Learning Revisited – Malcolm Brown, Director of Academic Computing, Dartmouth College

Seminar Archive
The ELI Web Seminars series began in the fall of 2005. Archives of past seminars, which include integrated audio and visuals, are accessible via the seminar archive. Please note that archived seminars are available only to ELI members for 6 months from the event date, after which they become publicly available.
The following table lists the archived 2007 Web seminars.
