The exhibit hall doors to Educause 2014 open today promptly at 9:30 AM. We’re inviting all Fearless Faculty from around the world to visit us in booth 1031 where they’ll receive a personal tour of the world’s first Active Learning Platform. The Active Learning Platform takes the best of lecture capture technology and combines it with real-time learner analytics, student engagement tools, and easy-to-use course content management. It’s everything a savvy-instructor needs to create a powerful active learning environment in class.

Here are just a few highlights of what you’ll see firsthand when you visit with us.

  • You will learn how the Active Learning Platform helps instructors increase student engagement levels and get the conversation going between students and instructors.
  • What education technology do students want most? Lecture Capture. According to the 2013 Educause student survey, 72% of students surveyed want more lecture capture available to them. The Active Learning Platform gives students 24/7 access to their course lectures and other course content. They’ll be able to revisit that content on their favorite device, bookmark the important parts of your lecture for review later, as well as create online discussions with fellow students.

On tap for Wednesday, October 1 at Educause is a presentation by Dr. Perry Samson, Echo360 Head of Teaching Innovation. His presentation, Study Guides Crowdsourced from Student Notes in Real-Time, takes place from 4:30PM – 5:20PM in meeting room W307C/D. Dr. Samson will discuss how the use of personalized study guides impacts student performance. He’ll also share insights he has gleaned over the years on how to make large lecture classes more engaging and interactive for students.

So, are you ready? Are you ready to join the ranks of the Fearless Faculty? Visit us in booth 1031. Your journey into the world of Active Learning starts today. Join the conversation with us on Twitter by using the hashtag #EDU14.
