Yes Nellie, I recall seeing a collaborative research project for online course development with a Canadian University a few years ago; I do not remember the document or what type of project was introduced. I wanted to follow-up on this project but lost all contact with the necessary information. When I received this information about the SCOPE conference, I was overly excited to join and see what others in the elearning community had to say. I consider this an excellent avenue to connect students and faculty from difference countries and to use their personal experiences and professional education for further initiatives on elearning etc.
