About the conference

As a part of distance/off-campus and flexible modes of delivery, online education is an increasingly popular field of study. If your work, studies or interests include these areas then this conference is for you!
The conference will be a wonderful forum for practitioners from all sectors—students and professionals alike.
Four good reasons to attend:

listen to and interact with world leaders in the field;
discover what others are doing and talking about;
be recognized as part of a group of experts and leaders;
network with peers and professionals.

The Open and Distance Learning Association of Australia (ODLAA) is a professional association of members interested in the practice and administration of distance education and open learning. It is a non-profit organisation managed by committee members operating in a voluntary capacity. The Association’s aims and objectives are to:

advance the practice and study of distance education,
foster communication between distance educators,
maintain and extend links with other national and international associations with related aims and objectives.
