The Association of Colleges AoC are holding their Annual Technology Conference at Imago @ Burleigh Court Conference Centre, Loughborough on the 9th and 10th of April 2008.

ElearningForce will have an Exhibition Stand at the Conference and will be running Live Demos for SharePointLMS as well as our Rapid Elearning Authoring Tools .

The Theme of the Conference is: Are you ready for the Digital Native?

Whatever the answer to that question, the Digital Native is here…but does your organisation live up to their demands? A new wave of learners is about to hit your college: born in the digital age, fluent in the language of technology, and eager to use it in all parts of their lives.

This is the main theme of the AoC Annual Technology Conference run in association with Becta and entitled Digital Natives, Digital Spaces, this conference seeks to challenge the way we currently provide education services to this most demanding student population.
