Welcome to the EdFuture Symposium 2015 of the American Distance Education Consortium
Dear EdFuture Symposium Attendees,
Welcome to the 2015 American Distance Education Consortium (ADEC) symposium. In 2014, ADEC hosted
a two day conference in Orlando, Florida named EdFuture. The EdFuture conference was attended by over
100 higher education professionals including administrators, faculty, instructional designers, technical
supporters, and industry collaborators. This incredible idea exchange and networking opportunity made
the 2014 EdFuture conference a great success. It has inspired ADEC members and industry collaborators
to extend its body of knowledge to new networks. ADEC provides a very intimate, yet broad network of
higher education institutions that are interested in distance education to exchange ideas, inspire and learn
from each other, and expand their collaborations both domestic and internationally.
The 2015 ADEC EdFuture symposium continues the concept of idea sharing and allows for colleagues in
the distance education sector to network, reach out, learn, inspire, and collaborate with others in higher
education. The 2015 EdFuture symposium also connects members with industry partners that can take
institutions to the next level in online education. We are proud and thankful for an incredibly diverse
international assembly of speakers that are at the forefront of online education.
Online education is happening and it is and will continue to be an essential part of the future of higher
education. Join us for the next two days to discuss and learn about current and emerging technologies
and advances in online higher education. We have provided numerous opportunities to interact and
network during the symposium and encourage you to reach out to your neighbors and fellow attendees
during the symposium.
We hope you will enjoy the 2015 ADEC EdFuture symposium. Please feel free to contact us if you have
any questions, suggestions, or concerns.
Let’s make it a bright and successful future – together!
