Four universities today announced the formation of the "Unizin" consortium, which hopes to jointly manage technical resources and learning materials in order to better shape the "digital learning landscape" (as opposed to leaving it to various, disconnected educational technology businesses). More universities are expected to announce their participation soon.
If it is successful, Unizin may have an impact on what technologies are available to universities, and how they work. Rutgers is not part of the consortium, but this may affect us in the long run.
