You are now joining a conversation that is simply the sum of two great institutions: 
Higher Education + Microsoft® = Higher Innovation.

Our charter is to inform, entertain, and provoke conversations about innovation in higher learning—globally.  We will share our insights on new trends, competitive technologies, and changing pedagogy in higher education.

It is important to state from the beginning that the contributors to this Live Space are Microsoft employees. Additionally, this is not a Microsoft-sanctioned or Microsoft Marketing Group blog cleverly veiled.  These are real, committed people that are passionate about learning and the positive impact that technology has on this great endeavor.  So we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Over the course of the next year, Microsoft will release a new portfolio of services, products, and innovative technologies.  We will be there in the midst of these new offerings—deciphering their importance to learning and the value to education enterprise.

We invite you to take part in these "fierce" and innovative conversations about Microsoft and Higher Education.  Please post your comments, questions, and feedback on how we can take this conversation higher.

Happy New Year from the Higher !nnovation Team.
