The Sloan Consortium thanks Elluminate for its generous support of registrations at our 2010 International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning, which is designed to bring together those interested in the technological aspects of online learning. Nine research grants were awarded in 2009, enabling recipients to commence work in order to present in 2010 at the Symposium.
