EDUCAUSE 2009: Select Session Recordings Now AvailableCreated by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on November 9, 2009
EDUCAUSE Joins Identity Management Federation: InCommonCreated by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on November 9, 2009
EDUCAUSE announced last week during the EDUCAUSE 2009 Annual Conference that it has joined the InCommon Federation, the U.S. identity and access management federation. In an identity federation like InCommon, participating identity providers (such as colleges and universities) and resource providers (like EDUCAUSE) agree on a set of shared policies, processes, and technology standards. This greatly streamlines collaboration among multiple organizations because federation members agree on these policies and processes once, rather than each time they sign a contract with a new partner.

EDUCAUSE 2009: Day Two!Created by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on November 5, 2009
Lots of great buzz on the #EDUCAUSE09 Twitter backchannel regarding Lawrence Lessing's keynote speech this morning! Did you receive your certificate of entitlement to question copyright? :-) A reminder that we will post the recordings of sessions online as soon as we can after the end of the conference, so you will be able to watch them again. We've heard a bit of feedback that the awards ceremony before the general session went long, and we do appreciate your patience in honoring these leaders who have advanced the community. Join Us for Interact! TonightThursday, November 5, 7:00–10:00 p.m., Exhibit Hall A and Korbel Ballroom Connect, collaborate, and celebrate Thursday night at Interact! Join us for an evening of interesting new options and fun interaction. Blackboard/Moodle/Sakai Session Recording Now AvailableCreated by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on November 4, 2009

We apologize for all the shuffling as we tried to accomodate the huge overflow at EDUCAUSE Central. We appreciate your patience! EDUCAUSE 2009 Online (and Beyond): Important Note About Session RecordingsCreated by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on November 4, 2009
During the EDUCAUSE 2009 Online conference, we unfortunately lost the ability to stream the following two Point/Counterpoint sessions live; however, the sessions were recorded, the links are below, and as far as we know, the technical issue was resolved. We hope you were able to tune into the alternate concurrent sessions, and thanks for your patience! Cloud Computing: Hype or Hope? Disrespectful and Time-Wasting, or Engaged and Transformative?
