Welcome to the first-ever cohort of the fully-refreshed Itana New2EA Program! This page summarizes the core platforms and tools that will be used to deliver the program, and highlights the two digital identities that all participants will need to have in place to get started.
Google Workspace will be used extensively to create, harvest, and distribute records related to the operation of the program, learning and teaching resources provided to participants, and participant-created content. The use of Google file formats will be encouraged (i.e., Docs, Sheets, Slides).
Program sessions will be held using the Zoom videoconferencing platform, which provides excellent features for session management, quick polls, and breakout rooms.
EDUCAUSE has community-and-collaboration facilities that are proven and used extensively across hundreds of groups. Where appropriate, the program will make use of these facilities (particularly EDUCAUSE Connect and the EDUCAUSE Mentoring Platform).
All participants will need to have a Google account to engage with and consume from the New2EA resource libraries. This Google account may be institutionally-assigned, or personal, or a new account created specifically for use in the Itana New2EA Program. The offer-acceptance form will be asking each participant to nominate the Google account they wish to use on the program.
Every participant in the Itana New2EA program is expected to have EDUCAUSE member login that is activated for EDUCAUSE Connect and EDUCAUSE Mentoring.
Please contact the New2EA Planning Team with any questions or comments about platforms, tools, and digital identities required for participation in the program.
