IT Department hosts EDUCAUSE Conference

At the beginning of November, the Information Technology Department hosted a viewing room for the 2009 EDUCAUSE Conference - Online Edition.

This year’s conference was the first in which Educause offered the online option. In an effort to keep abreast of what is going on in the industry, and with emphasis placed on stretching the university dollar, Information Technology registered for the event and invited members of the Winona campus to participate.

Twelve members of the university participated in a combination of 15 sessions offered over the three-day period.

We are aware of a number of university members who were interested in attending the session but could not, due to prior commitments. As a follow up for those still interested in reviewing the content or possibly seeing it for the first time, conference materials (including presentation recordings) can be viewed at www.educause.edu/Resources/Browse/EDUCAUSE09/35198#tabs--2.

Each session has a “Resources and Video” tab through which participants can view or listen to the conference proceedings.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the online conference.
