The annual HP Technology for Teaching Worldwide Higher Education Conference is one of my all-time favorite events. It seems like just a short time ago we met in February for 2 days – 138 faculty from 21 countries, sharing their expertise and excitement about using technology to enhance the learner experience in their courses. I wish ALL of you could have been there.
