EduCause is a nonprofit association devoted to advancing higher education by promoting the effective use of information technology.  The annual EduCause conference is one of the year’s premiere gatherings of higher education technologists.  The conference provides attendees with many opportunities to talk with vendors about new products and services, to catch up on the latest news from organizations devoted to technology and higher education, and to compare notes with colleagues from other colleges and universities. 

This year’s conference took place between October 23 and 26 in Seattle.  Tabby Conwell (Director of Applications Development), Monica Crawford (OSCAR Project Manager), Vince Di Scipio (Director of Networks, Telecommunications and Systems), and David Waldron (CITO) were among the conference’s 7,000 attendees.  Among many others, Wooster participants attended sessions on IT project management, applications of Web 2.0, learning space design, strategic planning, and ERP reporting.  Participants also had conversations with vendors specializing in web development and content management, project management tools, classroom technology and classroom technology interfaces, audio and video capture equipment, and networking equipment and services.
