In the interest of community building, we are establishing an eColloq Series on Cyberlearning, chaired by Michael Hoffmann, Georgia Institute of Technology. The idea is to provide an opportunity to present and discuss research and development work without the need to travel. The goal is to organize two online colloquiums per semester, each with two presentations of 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of online discussion. Recordings of the colloquiums will also be made available. As eColloqs are scheduled, they will be listed below and advertised through the CIRCL newsletter, facebook, and twitter. Together with campaigns on social media and the recordings, this initiative will provide an excellent opportunity to make your projects known to a broader audience, including teachers.

We additionally recommend organizing a local viewing with discussion – a sort of “science café” for which you would get the eColloq speakers for free.

If you would like to present your work in a future eColloq, please contact Michael Hoffmann
(m.hoffmann@gatech.edu) or Wendy Martin (wmartin@edc.org).
