This year the Curriculum, Technology, and Education Reform (CTER) Online Master of Education Program from the University of Illinois will feature a hybrid conference live from the University of Illinois in Champaign and through the IOC community. Presenters and participants online will be given access to both the IOC and CTER conferences.
This conference - which is attended by participants from all across the globe - is held entirely on the Internet using: live virtual classrooms, recorded presentations, email, web poster sessions, synchronous chats, discussion areas, and other Internet technologies. IOC was created to focus on issues and concerns of K-20 classroom faculty and related technology support, learning resources, student services, and workforce development professionals.
IOC 2007 takes place in a LearningTimes Online Conference Community - an online environment in which groups of participants, both small and large, gather electronically to learn, collaborate and network. Not sure how an online conference works? Want to experience the conference community before registering? Highlights from last year's conference are available at:

Seattle Times Article
An interesting article on Adjunct Pay was in yesterday's Seattle Times. Also, if you are interested in pay issues, you might want to check out the current issue of The Adjunct Advocate, as there is a story regarding pay equity there.

A New Book about Teaching Online
A new book, Making Money Teaching Online, is now available for preorder.
Given that there is an ongoing debate about how online and onground teaching are different, I'm a bit dismayed about the way in which the title focuses on making money, rather than on quality instruction. I'll also post this entry to our LiveJournal Community (see the link to the right) so that we can actually discuss this if folks want to.
If I can get my hands on the book from a library, perhaps I'll post a review.
