Educating Learners through Innovation and Technology (ELITe) Conference

Check out the inaugural year of the Educating Learners through Innovation and Technology (ELITe) Conference — Early bird registration ends on Jan. 24.

Come to the Great Wolf Lodge from Feb. 21-23, 2018, and learn to be a phenomenal educator at ELITe Conference.

This three-day conference is designed for health professions educators across all specialties. Education has rapidly changed over the past ten years. Rather than just lectures and textbooks, educators can now choose from podcasts, vodcasts, free open access medical education (FOAM), massive open online classrooms (MOOC), simulation, gamification and audience response systems as instructional techniques or augmentations.

The focus of the ELITe Conference is different — Educators will walk away from the conference with a tangible product.

The conference will first provide focused sessions on innovative approaches to education challenges — from learning objectives to learner engagement, to simulation. Those sessions are then followed up with more in-depth hands-on sessions to help you create and improve your curricula, slide and presentation design, team-based learning, podcasts, oral boards cases and simulation cases. These are followed by open sessions during each day that you can use to keep working on your projects or take advantage of the conference venue. The course faculty will be available during these sessions to provide you with additional guidance and support. Additionally, the course will provide an onsite production team to help you craft your first podcast or try your hand at advanced podcasting techniques.

Our goal is for you to leave ELITe with a better understanding of how to best use educational theories and technologies to engage their learners in a variety of formats.

We look forward to having you join us in February!
