Upcoming Conferences about Learning Technology

Sometimes breaking away from the office for a bit is critical to gain new insights and perspectives. If you’re looking for some learning technology conferences to attend, I have some suggestions below. Also, if you need help with funds to attend one of these conferences, consider applying for the Learning Technology Professional Development Grant at http://go.osu.edu/PD (deadline, July 23, 2012).

A comprehensive listing may be found at:
