ELI07: Documenting the Conference

The efforts to document individual experiences at this conference, and provide opportunities to collaborate are quite extensive. This is in addition to documenting the cohort and large group learning and materials.

First, a Twitter account (event? account? still new to Twitter lingo) has been set up for this ELI event and lots of folks are posting to that.

Second, anyone who is blogging their experience (or otherwise documenting on photo-sharing or social networking sites) has been encouraged to use the tag “ELI07NetSavvySession” so that no matter where the posts live, they will all be aggregated together at the EDUCAUSE Connect site.

Third, there are a number of “extra” multi-media materials being developed in parallel with the conference. For example, I will record a podcast later this afternoon that will summarize my presentation from earlier this morning. That podcast (and others, I assume) will be available as part of the conference materials. I also was part of a group that was interviewed by Diana Oblinger on all these “net savvy student” topics. I look forward to see those final products.

Fourth, all materials from the presentations (both general sessions and concurrent break out sessions) will soon be available on the web. Several of us have decided to beef up what was shown on the screen. Knowing my presentation would later be uploaded to the web, I decided not to clutter up the version I actually presented with links and references and copyright notices and all that. So what I upload will actually be much more complete.
