Knowledge Futures: Language, Culture, and Technology Conference

The conference and exhibit are sponsored by the Confucius Institute in Atlanta,

Learning, Emory College Language Center, and University Technology Services. This
conference is part of the ongoing Knowledge Futures series at Emory University
that seeks to bring together thought leaders from a variety of disciplines to
discuss new and changing models of knowledge management. It aims to provide a
platform for language educators and technology specialists to present their research
and practices in integrating technology into the teaching and learning of languages
and cultures. Participants will learn how technology is being used in developing
curriculum, creating instructional materials, and designing learning tasks; and
how current research and new technologies have impacted the way we teach and learn
foreign languages. They will also have the opportunity to network and explore
collaborative projects across languages and campuses.
