The Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning took place on 17, 18 and 19 June in San Francisco, California. It is one of the leading events in the USA bringing together professionals to exchange innovative e-learning practices and knowledge.

This year’s Symposium was a great success in terms of the number of people taking part, breaking new records. Many of the lectures and workshops focused on the use that a great number of educational institutions, and higher education institutions in particular, are making of the most successful social tools, and reflected on the ways to apply them to learning. Other aspects, such as increasing ubiquity, greater possibilities for collaboration using the new tools, open content and the Web 3.0 as the next big thing, also played an important part in many of the presentations.

The Office of Learning Technologies’ Joy of Learning team attended so as to be able to present a poster on the Enjoy Guidelines, which were shared and discussed with different innovation and research groups from universities from around the world. Thanks to all of you for your interesting contributions to our work!
