In a world where students have access to technology, there is
increasing need to incorporate systems wherein the focus is on the
learner than the teacher.   Technology has a huge role to play in this
paradigm shift.  In order that the teachers as facilitators  grasp the
huge untapped potential of technology, TQMS is organizing a virtual
global  conference in educational technology  titled  “Technology for
Blended and Distributed  Education”  from August 18-20, 2010  wherein
the speakers address the participants over virtual mode through  video
conferencing and webinars.  The objective  is manifold to tap the
potential of technology, to bring world  renowned and distinguished
speakers in specialized domains in ICT advancements in education and
address emerging concepts,  technology based administrative deployment
practices, strategies and possibilities to share their experiences
with a select audience from their home location from any part of the
world.  The sessions would be scheduled to take into consideration the
various  location of speakers from different time zones. While
participants of the conference will assemble  at Christ University,
the venue  for conference proceedings, the robustness of the
conference will also be built around  high quality peer reviewed
papers for a few face to face presentation  as ‘interlude  conference
plug-in sessions’ at the physical location of the conference on all
the  days of the conference. It is intended that the conference will
also reinforce the supplementary and complementary nature of
technology wherein the facilitator plays a very important role.
