UT San Antonio and UT El Paso are partnering to host this conference , where we will continue to explore the creative ways in which educational innovators are transforming the field.  IOL is designed for higher education faculty, staff and students who are engaged in any level of online learning, from enhancing a face-to-face experience to providing a truly blended approach to fully online.  As in past years, we will continue our discussions of best practices, successes in online student services, and future trends in technology.

Aside from the opportunities afforded by the conference sessions, you will also have the chance to experience a myriad of San Antonio's tourist and cultural attractions. There is plenty to do and see that will leave you with fond memories of San Antonio and its warm and welcoming people.  Millions of people visit this conference venue each year to enjoy the unusual urban sanctuary that winds along the San Antonio River in central San Antonio.  Restaurants, galleries and shops line the banks of the downtown River Walk just steps from the conference hotel.

Come join us in May 2012 – we can assure that you will have a wonderful and informative time in San Antonio!
