Fifth annual GSOLE conference this Friday

This Friday, January 28, the Global Society of Online Literacy Educators (GSOLE) will be conducting our fifth fully online annual international conference, "Visions and Sites of Online Literacy Education."

Conference Co-Chairs Cat Mahaffey and Tess Evans--who are also GSOLE Board Members--have assembled a terrific event, again providing an excellent opportunity for the many people interested in online learning in general and online literacy education (OLI) more specifically to gather and discuss the opportunities and challenges of online education. GSOLE is now a 500+ member-strong organization!

It's a full-day affair with over 70 presenters, as you can see in the conference program. GSOLE President Dan Seward provides a short welcome video and tour, and already available is a Praxis Poster Hall. The conference features seven concurrent sessions and plenaries by Central Michigan's Troy Hicks and the University of Florida's Laura Gonzalez. Links to all of these events will be activated on Friday. You can follow the activity and discuss your experiences using #gsole2022.

You can still register, and this event is designed to be user-friendly on the wallet: It costs $10 for GSOLE members and $5 for students and contingent faculty GSOLE members. 

This year, we're grateful to the University of Houston-Downtown Master's Programs for sponsoring our conference, and I hope attendees take a look at their programs.

GSOLE is constantly improving and evolving. Listen to Dan's welcome message to hear how the conference is responding to trends in online learning and how GSOLE is connecting both new and old voices to chart the next paths in OLI.
