-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------** The Fifteenth International Conference on Learning **
3-6 June 2008
Univesity of Illinois, Chicago, USA
We recently concluded the Fifteenth International Conference on Learning at the University of Illinois, Chicago, USA. The Conference attracted nearly 400 delegates from 30 different countries: Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, India, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. A breadth of professional perspectives characterized the conference delegation. Delegates included teachers, administrators, policy makers, and businesspeople, as well as scholars from education, area studies, communications, computer science, literature, the natural sciences, psychology, sociology and many other areas of study.
Each day featured plenary sessions, parallel sessions and less formal discussions. Diversity of nationality, and academic and professional specialization, among other factors, provided for multiple perspectives and dynamic conversations on learning in its many facets. At the end of the second day of the Conference, delegates met at The Parthenon in Chicago's Greektown for the Conference dinner. The Learning Conference concluded with a collective discussion of the most important issues raised through the course of the four days and with a consideration of how the dialogue that began at this Conference might be continued until next years' Conference.

-----------------Welcome to the October 2007 issue of the Learning Community Newsletter.
This will be the last month that I will be serving as your editor as the Common Ground conference newsletters continue to evolve.

-----------------[1] Welcome
-----------------Welcome to the September 2007 issue of the Learning Community Newsletter. We want to thank all of our readers for their understanding in not having produced an August 2007 issue of the newsletter. Having ended in June our biggest Learning Conference ever and having moved to a new location in advance of a new academic year, the Learning Community Newsletter required a little time off. Now, a month later, we’re ready for the remainder of 2007 and anticipate another full cycle of successful learning opportunities through our conference series, by contributions to The International Journal of Learning, this newsletter and by other means. With over 1000 people, for example, in attendance at the 14th International Conference on Learning held at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa this past June, we can look forward to the possibility of surpassing that number as well as further enhancing both the variety and quality of learning opportunities in the 15th International Conference on Learning which is to be held at the University of Illinois, Chicago, USA in June 2008.
We wish to thank all of you who contributed to the successes of the past and encourage increased participation by each and every one of our readers in one or more ways in the months ahead.
As always, we look forward to hearing from you regarding news-worthy items, how we might improve this newsletter and the like.
