The Desire2Learn Symposium was held at the University of Tasmania's Newnham Campus (Launceston) on 11 November 2014. It was attended by colleagues from UTAS (Hobart and Launceston), Victoria University and Deakin University.
The Symposium was organised by the Building eLearning Community of Practice (CoP) and funded by a University of Tasmania Career Scholarship. The CoP was able to expand on the original concept with thanks to contributions from the Office of Professor Janelle Allison, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Regional Development), and the Australian Maritime College. We invited colleagues from Deakin University, Victoria University and University of Tasmania to present on diverse technical aspects of Desire2Learn and to share information, experiences and perspectives.
