I was a bit disappointed to receive this email from iNACOL organizers regarding my presentation/workshop submission, which I discuss in this April, 2009 blog entry:

On behalf of the International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL), I’d like to personally thank you for your VSS 2009 proposal. We received 210 submissions for the November conference. Members of the Program Committee worked very hard in reviewing the proposals and making decisions that will best fit the symposium theme Creating New Solutions through Online Learning and meet the dynamic participant needs.

We appreciate your submission of Moodle Habitudes – Constructing Online Learning Environments. However, this proposal was not selected as a presentation for this year’s symposium.

Every effort was made to balance the program in the areas of content, topic, grade level, focus, and audience. Due to space limitations, many excellent proposals could not be accepted. We appreciate the time and effort involved in preparing a proposal, and thank you for offering to share your expertise with other educators.

We still hope you plan to attend the conference and that you will join us for robust networking opportunities; to learn about the latest trends, challenges and opportunities in e-learning; to interact in session presentations; and to gain access to the latest research and best practices reports. And if you register now, you can still take advantage of Early Bird pricing: http://www.virtualschoolsymposium.org/registration.php.

For information on how to take advantage of the VSS group housing rate at the Hilton Austin, visit the Travel & Hotel page: http://www.virtualschoolsymposium.org/travelhotel.php.

We look forward to seeing you at VSS 2009 in Austin, Texas, and we hope that you will consider submitting again. The Call for Participation for VSS 2010 will open in February 2010 at http://www.virtualschoolsymposium.org.

Best regards,

Dr. Fred Sagester, Chairman
Program Committee
International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL)

Since Virtual Schooling is still important to consider, and it’s important to learn as much as possible, I’m still planning to attend iNACOL in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, it won’t be as a presenter.
