I had the privilege of attending\u00a0\u00a0#VCUAltFest this week, sponsored by the Academic Learning Transformation Lab<\/a> at Virginia Commonwealth University. Not a conference, this festival of learning included opportunities for listening but also sharing. There were powerful discussions both in and out of the rooms, and I added new<\/a> colleagues<\/a> to<\/a>\u00a0Twitter<\/a> and<\/a> Feedly<\/a>. Not all these folks attended live. I participated in the Twitter Journal Club<\/a> activity and was able to connect with lots of thinkers all over the world.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to lose the excitement of new ideas, particularly those that came out of the #hackJAM<\/a>. It focused on “hacking” the syllabus. Lyndsey Durham<\/a> and Jon Becker<\/a>, the co-facilitators,\u00a0have already reviewed the session. What I want to do is meet D Jennings’ challenge:<\/p>\n

Dont stop til you've taken an idea from #vcualtfest<\/a> and run with it. Hoo yah to innovation<\/p>\n
