Ericast 310 - EDUCAUSE in Chicago
from Ericast.com Podcast - DWEEB THOUGHTS · host Eric M. Larson
Where did October go? Well, I was busy jetting off to a location literally dozens and dozens of miles from home. Let's recap the EDUCAUSE Conference. Here's your show. Website viewers: Click here to listen to this week's episode! Podcast listeners: Click here for a link to the show notes page! Everyone: Call 701-645-ERIC (701-645-3742) and comment I'm trying to get better at flying. This year's EDUCAUSE focus was Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Last time, seven years ago, it was on student retention analytics. Seven years before that was lecture capture. And eight years before that I had a focus on "computer competency" because that's where I started my career, so I don't really know what the other key themes were at the time. I try to make the most of whatever opportunity I'm given. I don't always succeed, but if I'm conscious about preserving "an attitude of positive regard" then I can watch out for living in negative space. Do I want to be a CIO? (Hint: No.) That's best explained by a clip of Tony Wrighton on the Zestology podcast and his interview with Chris Ryan, author of Civilized to Death. Questions? Comments? Observations? Give a call to 701-645-3742 (a.k.a. 701-645-ERIC) and share.
