This document summarizes key takeaways from presentations at the 2010 EDUCAUSE conference. It discusses that educators can no longer teach as they were taught, and must prepare faculty for the next generation of learners. New models of education view the institution as a network, not a place. Innovation can come from inspired individuals, and collaboration between institutions is important. The overarching message is that to develop lifelong learning, educators must communicate more closely with students, faculty, and staff to create a learning community.

18. Other highlights

20. Example of using social media to develop a PLN

21. What we want is not
survival for institutions, what
we want is better, deeper
student learning with greater
access for all. And the memo
that I read on that said the
Internet had the most promise
of achieving that goal that any
platform of humanity has ever
invented.

22. The irony behind it all is
that the internet was
modeled on the free, open,
collegial discussion that
higher ed had modeled.
And now we look at the
internet as the enemy, the
thing we need to have a
wall to separate our
students from.

25. Takeaway# 4
WE MUST COLLABORATE AND
COMMUNICATE MORE CLOSELY WITH
FACULTY, STAFF, AND STUDENTS
TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY OF
LIFELONG LEARNING SKILLS
