NUTN 2009: Quality In Motion

Look around---university layoffs, budget cuts, travel restrictions, faculty sabbaticals eliminated—is there any educational environment in the world that hasn’t been impacted by the economic situation?

During times such as these, we depend on our trusted colleagues and respected visionaries to guide our thinking as we align our distance education programs to respond and contribute to those we serve.

We know you’ll find this year’s NUTN 2009: Quality in Motion, a thoughtful response: plenary speakers provide interpretation and inspiration for the challenges ahead in distance education, pre-conference workshops and conference sessions will generate interesting discussion and practical suggestions and finally—a network of colleagues who are transforming distance education at their own universities. You’ll leave this conference armed with a network of colleagues and great ideas to put into action.

If you are wondering whether this should be the conference you choose this year, think about the following plenary speakers:

Elliot Masie, CEO of The Masie Center and internationally recognized futurist, analyst, researcher and organizer on the critical topics of workforce learning, business collaboration and emerging technologies

Robert Richards, Senior Director of the Higher Colleges of Technology, and President of Dubai Men’s College a thought leader in the human and education issues arising from technology and change

Frank Mayadas, Program Director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

President’s Panel:
Dr. Alan Davis, President Empire State College
Dr. Wright Lassiter, Chancellor, Dallas County Community College District
Dr. Susan Aldridge, President University of Maryland University College
