Have you ever stopped to reflect on how technology is truly changing the way people access education? Like many of you, I went to university in the era before mobile computing and the explosion of the internet. In that era, paper books and journals in the university library opened the world of knowledge to me. If I close my eyes and think about those years, I can still see the narrow staircases that led up and down the floors of the book stacks in my university library and I can still smell the faint musty odor of aging paper books...

Earlier this year we launched our first official IEEE Education Society logo! We believe the new look better matches what we’ve become since 1957: a community of members that engage students each day, research and propose new theories in learning science, and innovate classroom practice. We use traditional paper, pencil, and book techniques supported by the modern technology of the digital age. Our logo combines the traditional with the digital and elevates our brand identity into the twenty-first century.

The IEEE Education Society provides professional development resources for conferences, workshops, events, and meetings that are organized by chapters and members of the Society.
The resources include a database of experts within the Education Society who are available to travel for presentations. The listing includes the CV and potential presentation topics for those listed. Also, the Society supports the travel expenses of selected presentations up to US$1000. A Society committee reviews applications for such Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) support with regard to impact and availability of budgeted funds and offers travel support periodically during each year.
The process to apply for DLP funds is shown below:
- Review the DLP expert listing and contact speakers for availability
- Submit the online request for DLP support specifying the speaker, the level of travel support, the venue of the event(s), etc
Requests should be made early as the review committee may only meeting quarterly and available funds are limited. The support by the Education Society must be noted and the presentation content, media, and photographs are needed along with follow-up report. The documentation of past events are available at the IEEE Education website.
Members of the Education Society with an interest in the Distinguished Lecturer Program may submit an online application to be included on the DLP experts list. The DLP committee selects experts for the listing and reviews the listing periodically for topics, activity, and availability.
For questions on the Distinguished Lecturer Program please contact Steve E. Watkins, ([email protected]) Vice-President for Educational Activities and Awards.
