Amping up the emphasis on educational innovations

The registration deadline is Aug. 10 for a free one-day (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) “Innovation in Instruction” conference at Elon University on Aug. 20. The conference focus will be on such relatively recent considerations for instructors as Facebook, Twitter, Wikis and other new media. The conference also will explore the new educational dynamics facing university faculty as traditional methods, centered on texts and talk, are giving way to the new technologies and teaching methods.
