On the 4-5 of December 2008, I attended the annual Australian Flexible Learning Framework eLearning08 NSW innovations showcase held in Sydney @ the University of New South Wales Roundhouse.
The conference comprised a mix of Keynote presentations from the likes of Mark Pesce, Kate Carruthers, NMC representatives & Steven Collins along with facilitated panel sessions from each of the funded teams across the NSW VET sector.
For those who know Learnscope, NSW Innovations is it’s successor program which began in 2008 and funded 38 project teams from across the VET sector in NSW.
The annual conference is a great opportunity to network with eLearning practitioners from across the educational sector while providing an excellent forum to gauge the pulse of innovation from those @ the cutting edge.

One of the distinctive features of eLearning08 was the efforts by the organisers to connect the participants to online communities through the use of contemporary social networking techniques & technologies.
During the day attendees with wifi enabled devices were able to access the network and participate in live conversations in twitter, flickr, diigo and blogs.
All the sessions were recorded and have been podcast. If your interested in the contemporary elearning landscape, want to listen to an engaging keynote on the way to work or are considering applying for funding in 2009 the recordings are great resource.
All in all a great conference, well done everyone involved!!
