Challenges & Opportunities for Academic Content Management Summit
Join us for an interactive Summit Meeting for academic technology leaders and product/service suppliers to exchange views on the major challenges and opportunities anticipated in the next three years related to management of academic content. Academic content management can include such technologies as e-portfolios, e-learning repositories, and digital libraries.
Presentations will address at least one of three primary areas of academic content management:
- Personal learning resources - managing content created as a result of learning experiences, providing evidence of competencies and achievement
- Institutional learning resources - managing institutional learning content created as a result of the learning enterprise - institutional strategies and tools, asset management, collaborative development, institutional repositories
- Sharing learning resources - strategies and tools for cooperative management of content repositories for sharing among institutions, schools, or other collaborations including open content and open courseware initiatives
The Summit meeting will feature presentations by leaders from Penn State and other leading institutions, as well as leading suppliers of repository systems, content management systems, and ePortfolios.
