Hi Michael,
It would be a good idea to tally from the participant profiles in the categories --
-ed tech and ID folk -then profs of/directors ed tech and educational researchers, then k-12 educators, then college higher ed -- as you mention.
I think this conference is a start in the right direction even though the numbers are probably disproportionate. People are busy and we are missing many people, but I appreciate those that came online for a rather long conference (3 weeks).
Also, I really liked what you said about e-performance and that it includes much more than e selection and us of DLT. At this time, that is my experience as both a grad student, a contracted distance educator, and as a person who is on committees online and gets supervision online. Many of us are probably in multiple categories, and these categories may be secondary to where we are going with e-learning, however, they influence what is our present focus. I think, that's why I like to get out of my narrow focuses and hear others in a conference like this. Jo Ann
