Educause is sponsoring a free Webinar, entitled "Where is the Open Education Movement Going?" Scheduled for May 19 at 12:00 p.m. (CDT), this session will address the issue of open education. What does the concept of "open education" mean in today's educational and technological environment? What innovations have occurred and what can we expect in the future? These are just some of the questions that will be explored by the next Educause Live! webinar. Brian Lamb will lead the session and speakers will include the co-organizers of the 2009 Open Education Conference. Educause Live! webinars are free but prior registration is required and virtual seating is limited. To register, visit the webinar website.

A recent article in Change magazine provides a different perspective on the role of instructional technology. Michelle Miller draws upon her background in cognitive psychology to discuss the positive role instructional technology can have in the classroom. Change is available through the Library's online collection and the article is available online to MSU faculty, staff, and students.
