Educause ELI Conference
The 2012 Annual Meeting will explore a rich matrix of themes that capture the key opportunities and challenges facing the teaching and learning community. Just within the space of the past year, open educational content and the ubiquity of even smarter mobile devices have shifted the teaching and learning landscape and the way we think about what constitutes learning environments. Increased reliance on cloud-based resources has created new opportunities for innovation but also presented us with important policy and privacy issues. There is new emphasis on evaluation, learning effectiveness, and accountability.

Technology in the Classroom Cohort (TICC)
We’ll start out with a demo of the Blackboard mobile app, and then open up the
conversation to any of the topics listed below or new topics you bring to the
meeting. The goal of this cohort is to provide faculty and stakeholders at Coconino
Community College with a forum for discussing technology in the contexts of
academic and classroom needs. Topics covered may include current technology at CCC, existing needs, challenges, new ideas and technologies, and review of trends in academic technology broadly. The cohort and the direction of discussion will be guided by faculty interests and input. Ideas, suggestions and concerns raised in the cohort will be shared with the chief Technology Officer (CTO) on an as-needed basis by the cohort conveners. On a quarterly basis, the CTO or a designee will attend meetings to provide technology updates and answer questions.
