Watch the publicly streamed sessions of Educause ON-DEMAND! These are primarily presentations of 50 minutes, with a few general sessions that lasted 60 or 90 minutes. If you can set aside the time, please take a look at the list of sessions at http://goo.gl/3Q27f and see if any interest you. If you can set aside the time, please watch them and think about how the information can be used by us, at UM.
I highly recommend the first two sessions on the list: IT as a Course Academic Competence by Clay Shirky (ignore the title – this talk is for everyone, not IT people), and Disrupting College by Michael B. Horn. They both talk about on-line learning and how it is changing higher education. I consider both of these MUST WATCH sessions as we think about how UM might adjust because of the wide available of on-line learning.
