The conference targets delegates from across the schooling and tertiary sectors along with trainers and educators involved in workplace learning. Importantly, the conference addresses a wide range of topics that span and converge across a number of fields. Accordingly, the programme aims will be valuable and highly engaging for a rich mix of people from all sectors and education backgrounds, including:

• School Teachers

• Polytechnic Tutors 

• University Lecturers

• Workplace Trainers

• Education Managers

• Learning Designers 

• Educational Researchers 

• Policy Makers 

The opportunity to network with a diversity of participants from different sectors is a major strength of the DEANZ conference. It provides a unique chance for educators across a range of sectors to discuss new directions in open, flexible and distance learning. Almost every education sector is now engaged in some form of technology-enhanced learning and the conference is equally relevant to teachers, academics and policy-makers. 

We especially welcome Australian and other international delegates to participate in the DEANZ conference. Opportunities can be arranged for international delegates to visit local schools, polytechnics and universities as an extension to the conference.
