The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative’s 2009 annual meeting theme — “Participation and Collaboration: Social Learning for the 21st Century” — is a natural fit for Tidebreak. This year, three conference sessions will feature Tidebreak customer institutions discussing their success stories as well as future plans. Lessons learned, usage data, and participatory demonstrations will be shared at the event.
Three institutions share practical advice based on their deployments of TeamSpot and ClassSpot on their campuses. This presentation will highlight lessons from the implementation of informal and formal learning spaces and report data collected and analyzed using Tidebreak’s TideScope tool.
