Innovate-Live webcasts, produced as a public service by our partner,
ULiveandLearn, allow you to synchronously interact with authors on the
topics of their articles.
You may register for the March webcasts at

archived and available in the webcast section of the article and in
the Innovate-Live portal archive shortly after the webcast. All times
are New York time. You may use the world clock at

Finally, Microsoft, Innovate's sponsor, has upgraded their offer to
the senior authors of the top three papers published prior to June
2009. Instead of the opportunity to present their papers at the
Microsoft Global Exchange summit in July 2009, they will receive the
Lenovo X60 Tablet PC pre-loaded with Windows Vista Ultimate and
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007. This is the same computer included in
the new Microsoft and Lenovo Ultimate Academic Personal Computer
Program designed specifically for college and university students,
faculty, and staff where Lenovo will offer four different ThinkPad
laptops pre-loaded with Windows Vista Ultimate and Microsoft Office
Ultimate 2007. (See
http://www.microsoft.com/education/highered/ultimatepc.aspx for the
details.) Note that this offer is currently available only in the
United States, but it may be extended internationally.
Best.
