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.

Welcome to the Evolving Technologies Committee blog!Created by Molly Tamarkin (Duke University) on November 4, 2009
Greetings! On behalf of the Evolving Technologies Committee (ETCOM), welcome to our blog! Actually, this isn't our blog: it's everyone's blog, and we hope you'll participate too. Our committee's charge is to identify developing technologies and to evaluate their impact on higher education. Typically, our work is shared through presentations, white papers, and articles. This year, we'd like broader input and dialogue and so are turning to EDUCAUSE's blog technology to assist us. In this blog, we'll share our ideas, readings, concerns, and focus areas regarding evolving technologies. To join the conversation, all you need to do is to log into EDUCAUSE, click on "create content" and select blog entry. Enter your post, and then tag your entry as either "ETCOM" or "Evolving Technologies" (no quotes). Your entry will then aggregate to our Committee blog. Here's to hearing more, Molly

EDUCAUSE Joins InCommon FederationCreated by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on November 4, 2009
EDUCAUSE announced today 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. Read more in the press release.
