Conference dissemination

Desire2Learn Learning Environment is the system behind the NTU Online Workspace (NOW) system. The Desire2Learn site has lots of useful information about the generic system and the Desire2Learn Community site is a world wide user community designed to promote collaboration amongst all Desire2Learn user institutions.

FUSION is the annual Desire2Learn Users Conference. Once a year, every July, Desire2Learn invites clients from around the world to attend a three day user’s conference. The conference is attended by various people that work with the system including system administrators, lecturers, technical support and help desk staff, senior management of Corporate, Educational and Government institutions. Conference sessions are presented by Desire2Learn staff and by Desire2Learn clients. More information about FUSION may be found on the 'What is FUSION' page of the Desire2Learn site.
