Information technology has had a striking impact on learners and learning. The world of learning technology today is radically different from that of just a decade ago, and the world of learning technology a decade from now will be radically different from that of today. Learning technologies are in a state of "interpretive flexibility": the technology itself is subject to change, as is also its application. However, learning technologies are affected not just by the possibilities of the technology but by the understanding of learning as well. This article discusses the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), a leading-edge teaching and learning initiative whose mission is to help institutions advance learning through IT innovation. ELI helps demystify both the technology and the pedagogy. Individuals throughout the institution are encouraged to use technologies and pedagogies to advance learning. ELI also provides professional development opportunities, tools, and techniques, in a range of formats. In addition to organizing location-specific conferences, ELI provides audio files, Webcasts, podcasts, blogs, publications, and tools online so that users can choose the time, place, and format convenient to them.
