Hi all,
See the announcement, below, regarding Cyberweek 2015 – the annual online conference on Online Dispute Resolution, which will take place on the Werner Institute’s ADRHub.com on Nov. 2-6th. I’ll be glad to answer any questions you might have with regards to participation, or discuss different ways you might incorporate student participation in the conference into your ADR class.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Greetings,
Fall is here and Cyberweek 2015 is just a couple weeks away! Please make sure you save the dates of November 2nd to 6th, 2015 and join us online for what promises to be a wonderful week of exploration and discussion regarding online dispute resolution. Click here for registration and information.

We are finalizing the program as we speak and this year’s program is filled with webinars, discussion forums, and product demonstrations by long-time leaders in the field along with emerging leaders looking to further expand the scope of technology as a tool for engaging and resolving conflict. This conference marks Cyberweek’s 18th time we will bring everyone together for this virtual conference, and the activities and topics become more and more compelling each time. We are looking forward to an engaging environment appropriate for all levels of students, practitioners, and scholars.

This year we have 14 live webinars on the schedule. Two to three webinars with experts and innovators in the field, offering opportunities to engage in live conversations regarding various online dispute resolution topics, will be offered each day. Once again, we are looking to build on the meaningful experience that takes place during Cyberweek to create momentum for the ODR Forum that takes place in June by closing out the Cyberweek Webinars with a panel of leaders that will share the threads that bind these two events together.

There will be plenty of insightful and dynamic discussion forums providing an opportunity for asynchronous engagement regarding topics such as:
• Online Technology in the Public Policy Realm
• Game-Changing Entry Barriers to ODR
• e-Apology
• Peacebuilding and Gaming: How can Gamification Technology Change Our Approach to Conflict Transformation
• Developments in ODR

Many of the discussion forums are appropriate for students to participate in, and we look forward to professors encouraging their students to be active in the dialogues that take place. The field of ODR has developed through a constant flow of newcomers pushing the technological and substantive envelope, and new voices are not only welcomed, but highly valued.

Professors might want to engage their students in these special activities:
• The annual ABA Ethics student competition. Once again students will be able to respond to a case regarding ethics in ODR and will have their submissions judged by experts.
• The e-mediation competition coordinated by Cornell University. This opportunity will allow students to practice the online dispute resolution platform Modria as they participate in simulated mediations. Students will need to register for this event separately and this info will be shared shortly. For further information, please contact Katrina Nobles.
• The many webinar, product demos and discussion forums. All of these activities provide the opportunity for your student to actively participate by posting their thoughts and ideas to the various forums these activities are embedded in.

Further information regarding these events will be found in the Cyberweek 2015 website when the conference launches.
As you can see, there is plenty to look forward to and it promises to be a wonderful week of discussion and exploration. Register soon for Cyberweek, if you have not done so already. If you are already registered, please pass this information on to others who may not be aware of this free, educational conference regarding online dispute resolution.

One final note, the platform that the conference is hosted on is www.adrhub.com. This website is a great central resource for all things related to conflict resolution. To engage in the activities you will need to sign up as a member of this site. It is free and simple to do. Please do so prior to the week so you can be ready to go on day one of Cyberweek. If you participated in Cyberweek in the past, you are already a member and will just have to simply sign on with your username and password.

We are looking forward to the week and will be updating registered participants to the rest of the programming and schedule as the conference approaches.

Take care,
