Dear colleague,

The e/merge 2012 online conference (9-20 July) about the use of educational technology in African universities is a few days away from starting. We already have 191 registered participants from 24 countries in five continents including 17 African countries.

The latest version of the e/merge programme is attached. e/merge 2012 includes five keynotes, 35 papers and presentations, six online workshops and opportunities for rich participant initiated conversations in the Open Space forums. Programme updates will be posted to our Programme page and to the e/merge Facebook group each evening.

On Friday afternoon 6th July we will invite participants into the site for the Welcomes phase.

On Monday 9th July we will start the presentations and workshops in the Setting the Scene phase. Later that day we will have a combined online and face to face opening of e/merge 2012 from 5-6 pm (South African time) including the keynote by Nnenna Nwakanma on "From Kilimanjaro to the Rift  Valley: A sneak view of openness in education through an African's eyes". If you will be in Cape Town and are able to make the face to face opening event from 5-7 pm please RSVP to info@emerge2012.net by Thursday 5th July.

Please inform your networks about e/merge 2012. There is an excellent opportunity to draw in some of your face to face colleagues for shared experiences of online professional learning and greater impact on local practices and thinking after the conference. 

Registration is free for all participants based in Africa and costs R750 (approximately $90) for participants in other continents who are not presenters. If you're based outside Africa and can't afford the registration fee then you are welcome to contact us on info@emerge2012.net and tell us about the value that you will bring to e/merge 2012.

Best wishes
:)
Tony Carr
