DACEL: 25-27 March 2009
The first thoughts of such a meeting which has formed the basis of the ‘Inaugural’ Defence Academies and Colleges eLearning Conference arose from an informal professional connection between Noëlle and Allan some two years ago about issues arising from the use of learning management systems. From that, with strong interest from Darien and Henk, it grew into a strong collaboration between three universities - Stellenbosch University, Cranfield University and the University of New South Wales. Each of these universities is contracted to their respective Defence Departments to provide higher education to Defence staff and through ongoing discussion, staff from these universities have developed the beginning of a collaborative activity aimed at canvassing issues impacting on eLearning in an academy or college environment and providing solutions.
