Please join us in welcoming Malcolm Brown, Director of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative to the University of Notre Dame for an informative keynote to promote discussion on how we architect new technologies to support learning. In this keynote, Dr. Brown will offer a provocative vision for next generation digital learning environments (NGDLE). Dr. Brown will lead a discussion on what’s ahead for digital learning environments. Are learning management systems like Blackboard, Canvas and Sakai obsolete? This keynote should provide an excellent starting point for Notre Dame faculty, students and staff to join in discussions on how a digital learning ecosystem that incorporates new online technologies can better support engaged and collaborative teaching and learning.

Malcolm Brown is the Director of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). Since joining EDUCAUSE in 2009, he has initiated major ELI undertakings such as its Seeking Evidence of Impact program and the Learning Space Rating System. Prior to assuming the ELI directorship, he was the Director of Academic Computing at Dartmouth College, overseeing a team active in instructional technology, research computing, classroom technology, and pedagogical innovation. Malcolm holds a pair of BA degrees from UC Santa Cruz; studied in Freiburg, Germany, on Fulbright scholarships; and has a PhD in German Studies from Stanford University. He has given presentations in Japan, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates; and has spoken most recently at Columbia University, Penn State, and the University of Minnesota. He hosts the ELI webinar series and presents on the EDUCAUSE Live! webcasts.
In a recent Educause Review article Brown poses a series of questions to consider when exploring the future of learning in the digital age. Prior to attending we recommend taking a minute to review Brown’s recent Educause Review article, in which he writes:
We should think not only about how to build a true digital learning environment in a technical sense but also about our strategic destinations. What new directions and opportunities might something like the NGDLE afford our institutions? Might it even encourage us to fiddle with our paradigms of higher education? Does creating a more agile online learning environment offer the possibility to support academic transformation—change that is both strategic and institutional in scope?
