I am passing this on because I know how wonderful Educause events are. This is a free event but they do want you to register to attend. Ohio University is a member of Educause and I have added my name to Ohio University's list of participants in Educause.
We could do this as a group or individually. Anyway, I hope that some of us can view this information.
