This is from a message that IONiC received from Michael Nanfito of NITLE: "In March 2009, five exemplary projects from the liberal arts community received the NITLE Community Contribution Award, which includes an opportunity to publish a case study with Academic Commons. Today, I'm happy to announce the publication of "Innovative Practices for Challenging Times," a new issue of Academic Commons that showcases these projects and gives readers a chance to find out how their leaders made them happen. This issue of Academic Commons is available at http://www.academiccommons.org/issue/september-2009 . If you click on the link and scroll down, you'll find the VIPEr case study called "Come for the content, stay for the community." The article captures both the lessons we have learned and the spirit of the IONiC/VIPEr community.
