Check Out EDUCAUSE 2010 Resources

Last week, 6,700 people from 41 different countries gathered in the Anaheim Convention Center to talk about higher education IT at the EDUCAUSE 2010 conference. And an estimated 2,500 people followed the sessions live online.

At the conference, universities, software companies and other organizations shared how technology is impacting higher education. Quite a few sessions focused on mobile learning, cloud computing and open source.

For archives of the 12 general and featured sessions, check them out online. And take a look at a few hashtags on Twitter, including educause10 and edusocmedia, two of the most popular hashtags used to share information.

The social media session started the conversation on a wiki before the conference, and the hashtag edusocmedia is still going strong. Another popular session that spread on Twitter was "Games: The Best Way to Learn. Period."

In "The Landscape is Changing Faster Than You Are: Here's Why," two presenters covered how universities can remain competitive in the changing landscape of higher education. David J. Staley, the director of the Goldberg Center for Excellence in Teaching at The Ohio State University, and Dennis A. Trinkle, provost and chief academic officer of Harrison College, shared their thoughts on the changes.

Check out some snippets of what they had to say:
