Making Connections Community

The Association for Authentic and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) is hosting the very first international conference for the world ePortfolio community to be held on behalf of this community and to be in the United States. Many of the world’s prominent ePortfolio leaders, researchers, practitioners, implementers, and vendors will be under one roof for the first time. This is a watershed event.

Between 600 and 800 attendees are expected to this four-day conference at the Seaport Hotel and Seaport World Trade Center, co-located with Campus Technology.

Co-hosted by the Association for American Colleges and Universities, LaGuardia Community College's Making Connections National Resource Center, and The Northeast Regional Computing Program (NERCOMP, an EDUCAUSE regional), this is the place to be: a true watershed event as the world ePortfolio movement gains momentum.

Two conferences, AAEEBL 2010 and Campus Technology 2010, will fill the Hotel and Trade Center and share an exhibit hall where the hundreds of vendors in attendance will set up their booths. In total, we expect about 1,500 attendees, all with interests in educational technology. It will be a jubilee.

Conference Keynote and Featured Speakers will include:

Welcome address by President Jack Wilson, University of Massachusetts system and founder of Studio Physics.

• Keynote: Randy Bass, Georgetown University, Assistant Provost and Director, Visible Knowledge Project and the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship.
• Keynote: Helen Barrett, International ePortfolio Consultant and Speaker, electronicportfolios.org
