It’s been awhile, my fellow #AVtweeps. You’ve mostly been reading introductions from rAVe assistant editor Steph Beckett, who has been holding down much of the editorial fort while I run around planning virtual conferences. She’s funny, yes? And you must love her Disney references. I asked her if she was going to run out soon and she says never, so. Better keep on keepin’ on, Disney. Speaking of industry conferences, you can go ahead and feel free to sign on up for LAVNCH 2.0 later this month, please and thank you. It’s free, will earn you lots of CTS RUs and has lots of cool stuff to see.
Today’s issue has a column from one of my favorite industry people, Anthony Coppedge, who talks about design thinking, or human-centered design, as well as a piece from another great writer, Scott Tiner, a must-read if you’re a tech manager at a university about what the fall classrooms will be like.
Finally, we’ve opened up nominations for our ninth-annual readers’ choice awards — and hey, if you’re reading this, you’re a rAVe reader, so you qualify to nominate! The nominations close soon on JUNE 10th, so nominate here or check out the story below for all the details.
