-Tom Carey, HEQCO (11am-2pm) --Based on our preliminary discussions of Day 1, Tom will provide us with more information about the role HEQCO is playing in shaping the Online Institute.

-Course Design Models --How can we ensure quality course content and delivery but embrace process-driven learning, where learners are motivated, self-directed co-creators of content.
