[DG: Teaching & Learning] Conference Follow-up > Plans for This Week's Teaching and Learning Call

[Richard Holeton]

One suggestion I made in the discussion referenced by Robin was that  
the Sakai teaching and learning community make a stronger connection  
into ELI i.e. EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. Here's the current call  
for the 2011 conference:
http://net.educause.edu/Program/1025897

This might be a good venue for discussing the Design Lenses and plans  
for Sakai 3, among other things. There's an open call for  
Preconference Seminars this year, and themes include Learning  
Principles and Practices, and Learning Technologies. I'm sure many of  
you are familiar with ELI but it just strikes me that these are two  
communities with much in common. I'd be happy to talk about proposal  
ideas and/or participate in one if it's something I can contribute to.
