Please take a second to offer your opinion on where to hold the ODLA Spring Conference – Quartz Mountain or the Metro OKC area. Also, we’re interested in whether you wish to receive moodle training and whether you’d stay the night in Quartz Mountain in order to take a tour of Altus AFB.

If you have other ideas to offer, please comment on this topic or email me!

Special Presentation Alert!

James Deaton, Chief Technology Officer of OneNet, will be providing an update on services available through Onenet.

“Despite the appearance of OneNet’s web presence, the spirit of innovation has not waned. A number of recent activities have leveraged past years investments, recent deployments as well as exciting enhancements in the near future. This discussion will highlight opportunities that fall directly in line with the theme of “Interactive Online Learning”, highlighting enhanced video bridging capabilities and the capability to take the content with you offline.

We’ll also address a number of underlying services and features that can be leveraged for the ongoing resiliency of educational programs through “cloud-based” storage and computing. Keener insight into the overarching infrastructure will also be examined and techniques shared to enhance the operation for end users of highly interactive online technologies.”
