Graduate Student Program

The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) is proud to offer a new learning opportunity for graduate students attending the 2010 ED-MEDIA conference, held in Toronto. The program will include a series of workshops/presentations specifically designed to meet the needs of graduate students from diverse disciplines.

The presentations have been carefully selected to complement graduate studies in a variety of disciplines with emphases on research skills and new technologies. Conference presenters are specialists in the areas including several ED-MEDIA Program Committee members.

The program consists of an invited talk on Socially Responsible Educational Technology Research by Emeritus Professor Thomas Reeves, and 12 presentations and workshops dealing with topics like:

• Completing your thesis on time: Motivation and monitoring
• Web 2.0 technologies in higher education
• Ethics of research and informed consent
• Introduction to theory, such as Connectivism and Constructivism
• Web 2.0 Personal Learning Environments (PLE 2.0): From dreams to reality?
• Systematic reviews: strategies for success
