Event Description

As we discover more about the way that people learn, how can we evolve our conversations about learning environments to reflect learning that is active, inquiry driven, and focused on knowledge creation? How do we build classroom ecologies that encourage students to think critically and work together?

Can we move outside the box of a four-walled classroom to begin developing learning environments that take advantage of the content offered in both the physical and virtual worlds?

Join us for this special, one-hour Solutions in Action webcast as part of the EDUCAUSE Top Teaching and Learning Challenges, 2009 to learn how institutions are leveraging technology to reach and engage today’s learners. Each webcast features a lightning round of five-minute presentations from community members sharing how their campus is facing the challenge. No registration is required and each session will be hosted online in Adobe Connect, giving participants an opportunity to interact with speakers and each other.

This is your chance to showcase your campus and connect with colleagues around real solutions and innovative directions. If you - or your institution - has an idea to share for any of the Challenges, please email ELI Program Administrator Carie Page at cpage@educause.edu.

Please note: All times are in Eastern Time.
