July 31, 2007: Tidebreak at the EDUCAUSE Seminars in Academic Computing
Tidebreak’s CEO, Andrew Milne, will co-present with academic technology directors from MIT and Stanford University in two separate sessions at the EDUCAUSE Seminars in Academic Computing (SAC) event, an exclusive gathering of academic technology leaders. As the SAC program rarely includes presenters from industry, this year’s invitation to help lead sessions at the event on August 3-8, 2007, in Snowmass, CO, speaks of Tidebreak’s growing stature as a contributor to technology innovation on campuses throughout North America and beyond.
Details of the sessions are given below. For more information, click here.
Session 1
TITLE: “Radical Learning with Constructivist '3.0' tools”

ABSTRACT: The future of learning environments promises to rely on highly interactive and distributed tools that enable students to engage with disciplinary topics and each other. Considering the ecosystem of learning contexts (spaces, physical and virtual) and tools, what is the face of 21st century learning? How does one teach, manage, and ensure quality outcomes in this kind of learning ecosystem?
Session 2
TITLE: “Technology Ecosystems: Informing Teaching and Learning.”
Phil Long, Ph.D.
Assoc. Director, Office of Educational Innovation and Technology
MIT
Andrew J. Milne, Ph.D.
CEO

Lois Brooks
Director, Academic Computing
Stanford University
ABSTRACT: Today’s learning technologies can enhance physical spaces, facilitate real-time interaction and collaboration, eliminate constraints of physical location, and enable global learning 24x7. Experience how Sakai, TeamSpot, and iCampus can together replace traditional ownership and control with collaborative cocreation and group interaction. Join us to discuss how they can form an integrated system and provide a coherent learning experience for students.
