In This Issue: Partnerships in Education
Partnerships are a hot topic in higher education across the country this year. The National Learning Infrastructure Initiative, a major resource for teaching and learning with technology, chose Partnerships as the theme for its annual conference earlier this year. Another interesting exploration of partnerships in education is Jossey Bass's recently published book, Partnering in the Learning Marketplace. This issue of the IT Times features some exciting educational partnerships forming on the UC landscape, which encourage cooperative learning as they transform the educational technology experience into one of shared innovation. Check out the list of stories for this issue to see how these partnerships can be great resources for you.

Susan Autry-Conwell routinely uses laser applications in her work at the UC Davis Medical Center. If UC Davis wins the bid to host a center for biophotonics research, UC Davis scientists will be able to develop laser technology biophotonics to diagnose and monitor disease at light speed. IET's Mediaworks helped the UC Davis team make a strong bid for the funding that the National Science Foundation will award.
