Director's Note

March 2008

The grand unveiling: the first fully online e-Notes! In keeping with "e" principles, and in support of NAU's commitment to sustainable practices, this newsletter henceforth will only be available electronically in your email and on the e-Learning Center website. We hope you enjoy this newsletter in its new format, and please do provide feedback and suggestions for improvement.

As always, there are many activities keeping the e-Learning Center buzzing. While we continue the core mission of supporting class e-activities, we are looking to open doors for new learning activities and to expand beyond the course-centric model. The new interactive web tools (Web 2.0, one of which, Scholar, is highlighted in this issue) will give rise to new opportunities and new methods in what is being called e-Learning 2.0. No, not my term! Yet, we in the ELC are exploring these emerging technologies, and will bring into the fold of supported tools those with the most promise for appropriate application for learning.
