From their announcement
We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Terry Anderson, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Distance Education, has kindly agreed to present on:
Three Generations of Distance Education Pedagogy.

He talks about the challenges and opportunity afforded by each model, with a focus on the emergent development of connectivism.
