Esri Education GIS Conference

I'm involved with two sessions at the event, which starts Saturday, that might be of interest.

On Saturday at 8:30 am (first session of the conference), I'm hosting a workshop exploring how to leverage Esri's MOOCs within existing courses and programs. (Disclosure for new readers: I manage Esri's MOOC program.)

On Tuesday I'm hosting the education conference's "self organized sessions," basically a mini-unconference. This is a chance for attendees to set the agenda and cooperatively explore topics of interest. One topic is already on the agenda: GIS Course Improvement. Want to get warmed up? Here's a post I wrote after my first education "unconference."
