Full Title: EDUCAUSE Next Gen Learning Initiative to Focus on College Readiness and Completion7/14/10 UPDATE EDUCAUSE has moved the first program briefing scheduled for today to July 27 at 4 p.m. (DoIT will still hose a "joint viewing" in ECS 125a). No more information is available about the remaining four "Challenge Briefing" webinars, but DoIT will update this site when we know.
EDUCAUSE, an association for higher ed technology professionals, will lead a new effort funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation -- Next Gen Learning Challenges (NGLC) -- to identify and scale technology-enabled approaches that dramatically improve college readiness and completion, particularly for low-income young adults. NGLC seeks to dramatically improve college readiness and completion in the United States by converging innovation, information technology, and our collective will on these challenges.
