This year's conference, which runs through July 31, focuses on "Web 2.0," and the cutting-edge communication and collaboration technologies that facilitate creativity, information sharing and community. Under the theme "Welcome to Next-Gen.Edu," all workshops, general sessions and special MIT campus tours will focus on the applications, software and services that are revolutionizing education throughout the campus.Breakout sessions presented by experts who have pioneered the educational use of next-gen technologies will provide in-depth explorations and analyses of the latest tools for instruction and administration and show how they are working right now on campuses.
