206911 event 1366111182 1475892196 <![CDATA[Mini Innovation Hubs Project: Learning from MOOCs Showcase]]> At the end of November, Donna Llewellyn (CETL), Mike McCracken (C21U), and Wendy Newstetter (COE) invited the campus community to attend an open meeting to form working groups, known as Mini Innovation Hubs, to address critical questions about the changing landscape of higher education. As a result of that event, seven groups composed of faculty, staff, and students, have been working to define their research questions and to develop approaches to answer them. You are invited to learn about what the Hubs have been doing, ask questions, and perhaps get more involved by joining a Hub.

Lunch will be served, so please register in advance.
