Educause 2009
This post serves as a reminder of the Educause 2009 Online conference that will be taking place in 120 Linton Hall Wednesday, Thursday and Friday courtesy of Libraries, Computing and Technology and the College of Arts and Letters. We hope to see you there for all or part of this experience, including a presentation by MSU’s own Dr. Byron Brown and Dr. Severin Grabski! Click “read more” to see the full schedule.
November 4, 5 and 6, Libraries Computing and Technology and the College of Art and Letters will be hosting a live EDUCAUSE 2009 Virtual Conference in 120 Linton Hall. We have registered for this one location and have selected the presentations that will be shown, primarily focusing on topics for those of you interested in educational technology.
This online viewing and collaborative experience will give us an opportunity to network locally with colleagues who share similar interests while receiving a live broadcast from presenters at the national Educause event in Denver. Local activities and discussion will be moderated by staff from Virtual University Design and Technology.
You may also want to consider participating in the Educause “Learning Commons” which kicks off with a pre-session event with Diana Oblinger on Tuesday October 27th, 1-2p.
Read more to see our local schedule, and hopefully mark your calendars to join us for some or all of the conference!
