The symposium will examine themes such as open education resources and open content; social networking and global connections; guerrilla learning, games, and activist learning; the next killer apps for education; alternatives to course management systems; real-time data, maps, and mobiles; backchannels and alternative communication tools; students who do research in their fields; and any technology or practice that shows promise for engaging students and supporting subversive teaching and learning. Proposals are encouraged under any of these or related themes.

The symposium presentations will be presented in Second Life. If you do not wish to participate via Second Life, all registered participants in the conference will be provided a special URL before November 4, where you can watch a live video stream of the presentations and use a special chat tool to be able to communicate back and forth with the live chat happening in Second Life.
