 * [|Final Presentation]Internet Based Learning Communities.**

This week reading and discussion allowed me the opportunity to evaluate theinnovation that could have an optimistic influence on my industry. This week assignment required me to evaluate each of these innovations by finding and reviewing studies that support its value and effectiveness. It is very important that the innovation is clearly defines an idea, practice or objec tthat is perceived as a new idea by an individual or other unit of adoption(Rogers, 2003). The innovations that have been chosen are the AECT International Convention. This year’s convention theme isCelebrate 3.0: Design. Learn. Community. The rapid evolution of Web 2.0 technologies has generated a level of communication and interaction never before possible.The AECT 2011 seeks to explore the transformational potential that theseinnovations hold for education, as well as share current research and best practices related to these developments. The Celebrate 3.0: Design. Learn.Community innovation would be simpler to apply because this process will allow a certain equality of communication and collaborations for education by incorporating the design and learn technological approach. This innovation is the annual conference on Design. Learn. Community is recognized internationally for the quality and integrity of its program. Each year the conference provides anexchange of current resources, research, and best practices from around the world that are relevant to the design and delivery of distance education/training. This innovation would be simpler to incorporate because itwill allow educators the opportunity to break down critical success factors and innovative practices in distance education and training. This innovation will also examine the key components of effective applications: needs analysis,course design, teaching methods, active learning, learner support, management,policy, and evaluation.

The reason why this innovation was chosen over the other two is because of the ongoing developments in learning and instruction as well as in scholarship and research require creativity and flexibility in meeting the challenges posed by emerging technologies, changesin learning and working situations, and new demands placed on education and training. The community exists in an exciting and dynamic world that requires us to do more than merely maintain our knowledge and skills that will engage in ongoing professional renewal, growth, and transformation. One of the diffusionis the AECT evaluations illuminate “networking” as one of the most important benefits of their membership and conference because this will allow the opportunity for councils, divisions, special interest groups, students of thecomplete program is offered networking and collaborative opportunities. These opportunities will expand through the conference programs which are requested by the AECT International Convention.

The convention theme is Celebrate 3.0: Design. Learn. Community. This is given developments in research, technology, and society, professional practice in the various disciplines that comprise the AECT community continue to change and evolve. To meet the challenges posed by ongoing changes, we need serious andsustained efforts to actively incorporate findings from multiple disciplines; involve key stakeholders at multiple levels to transform education and training;integrate technologies seamlessly into learning, instruction, and performance; dynamicallyinterweave research, practice, and theory development; and demonstrate whatworks when and why with regard to improving learning, instruction, and performance.
