********* **********
The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) is conducting an online focus session on September 14 and 15. The theme is open education resources (OER) and the focus session is an in-depth exploration of the issues and potential of OER in higher education. The title is: “Open Educational Content: Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities.”

This is an entirely online event.

There will be 16 invited speakers to help explore all the key aspects of this new but very important area in teaching and learning. Participants will get a chance to develop their own ideas about opportunities at their campus, as well as tour institutional examples of high-quality content development, maintenance models, and delivery and organizational options that support adoption.

More information is at: http://www.educause.edu/ELI117/Program or download a PDF of the schedule at: http://tinyurl.com/ELI2011focus

You don’t need to be an ELI member to participate!
