Join Us for a Virtual Idea Exchange

The EDUCAUSE Top Teaching and Learning Challenges Solutions in Action Series

What are those big challenges facing teaching and learning with IT? What strategic issues wake us up at night and propel us to work in the morning?

Since August, members of the EDUCAUSE Teaching and Learning community have been pondering those questions, releasing a community-generated list of the Top Challenges in Teaching and Learning, 2009. Now, with list in hand, it’s time to build a network of solutions, showcase innovation, and inspire new ideas.

With that in mind, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) is inviting the community to an "idea exchange" during a series of special, one-hour Solutions in Action webcasts throughout the spring. Each webcast will address a specific challenge as community members briefly share their campus projects in a lightning round of presentations. No registration is required and each session will be hosted online in Adobe Connect, giving participants an opportunity to interact with speakers and each other.

This is your chance to showcase your campus and connect with colleagues around real solutions and innovative directions. If you—or your institution—has an idea to share for any of the Challenges, please e-mail ELI Program Administrator Carie Page at: cpage@educause.edu.
