Report from Kyoto's JALT Pan-SIG ConferenceUnder the new plan, any additions to the automated ERIC database will be made by a group of clerks from a pre-approved list of journals, conferences, associations and organizations. Expert monitoring of the quality of research acquired for the database will be eliminated and important contributions from many colleges and independent scholars will no longer be part of the database.
Inaugural Conference for the Independent Learning Association
On September 13-14, 2003, the University of Melbourne, Australia, will host the inaugural conference of the Independent Learning Association (independentlearning.org). "This is a conference for practitioners, academics and researchers involved in English language self-access centers and independent learning centers," explained Moira Hobbs, one of the conference organizers, in an e-mail to ESL MiniConference Online, "and for those teachers with an interest in the development of learner autonomy."
