Today is the day before Educause 2018 gets underway in earnest. The Tuesday is characterised by a mixture of pre-conference workshops (additional registration […] View Article

The Educause conference is something that has been on my radar for 20 years, and it’s no coincidence that it is celebrating 20 years this year. It […] View Article
