Provost Sharon Brehm Elected Chair of Ohio Learning Network

Provosts and chief instructional officers from across the state met in Columbus at the inaugural board meeting of the Ohio Learning Network and elected Ohio University Provost Sharon Brehm chair of the board.

The OLN, a consortium of 55 of Ohio's public and private colleges and universities, held its first board meeting Oct.12 and the Ohio Board of Regents approved Brehm's appointment Friday.

The OLN increases access to learning opportunities by promoting technology for instruction and research. The network facilitates partnerships among higher education institutions and collaborations between higher education and public schools, business, industry and local communities.

The Ohio Learning Network is sponsoring the Ohio Video Intranet conference Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 at the Fawcett Center, Columbus, with the theme "Navigating Ohio's Technology Roadmap." The conference will focus on the need for Ohio schools to share infrastructure and for the K-16 education system to move forward with shared technologies.
