About the Conference
The Wyoming Distance Education Consortia (WyDEC) proudly announces the 8th Annual WyDEC Distance Education Conference. The 2008 conference is supported by the Wyoming Community College Commission and each year is hosted by one of the seven Wyoming Community Colleges. This year's conference will be hosted by Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The event has a tradition of sharing innovative ideas and practices for enhancing teaching and learning at a distance as well as uses of emerging technologies that support traditional campus-based courses.
