I look forward to seeing you in Orlando. 

Darcy Hardy of UT-Telecampus is our Closing Keynote

Hi All,
I'm going to keep this posting short and sweet.  Mostly sweet.  I'm very happy to announce that Dr. Darcy W. Hardy, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Executive Director, University of Texas-TeleCampus, has agreed to be our closing speaker at Wimba Connect 2008.  Many of you already know Darcy from her work with the UT-Telecampus and her work when she was the president of the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA).  Now with Darcy Hardy on board, along with Tommaso Trionfi (CEO of Wimba) and Carol Vallone (former CEO of WebCT and current member of the Wimba Board), our program contains some of the leading minds in the world when it comes to distance learning.  We couldn't be more pleased.
