About
EDUCAUSE
This year’s Midwest Regional Conference, "Collaborating for the Future...Now!," highlighted learning opportunities that emphasize the importance of creating a reflective and change-oriented IT culture. Current economic, technical, and political pressures are disrupting higher education practices, creating radically different learning experiences for learners. Participants engaged in activities that helped them learn, unlearn, and relearn IT practices and concepts, prepared to return to work to lead efforts, collaborated with colleagues, designed their own professional development path, and created future learning and research environments.
Sessions focused on the following areas:
- Data Analytics and Data-Driven Decision Making
- Enriching Learning through Technology
- IT as a Game Changer
- IT in Transition: New Ways of Leading
General Session Speakers
Monday
