Mission Statement: The annual e-Cornucopia Conference developed and offered through e-Learning and Instructional Support at Oakland University, has a mission to support faculty in online teaching and learning. The title of the conference, e-Cornucopia as originally suggested by Nic Bongers, was to emphasize the growing abundance of online teaching software and pedagogical activities. Our first conference in 2009 highlighted the software needed in instructional technology units. Our second conference in 2010 focused on teaching with social media. Our third conference's theme in 2011 was open learning.
