Back in February, this blog listed the Educause top 5 learning and teaching challenges for 2009:

1. Creating learning environments that promote active learning, critical thinking, collaborative learning, and knowledge creation
2. Developing 21st-century literacies (information, digital, and visual) among students and faculty
3. Reaching and engaging today’s learners
4. Encouraging faculty adoption and innovation in teaching and learning with IT
5. Advancing innovation in teaching and learning with technology in an era of budget cuts.

Now Educause have published a discussion of the social network process used to identify these challenges - see here - and renewed their call for contributions:

If your campus is making significant strides toward addressing one of the EDUCAUSE Top Teaching and Learning Challenges for 2009, or if you have an idea for an approach that falls outside the box, EDUCAUSE invites you to contribute to the wikis and join the Ning community. You can submit a “community snapshot” that offers a brief look at your campus project, or you can identify yourself as a content expert willing to help others. You can suggest readings, write a case study, or point to a video or webcast at your institution. Regardless, this project is about you—your contributions, your ideas, your needs, and your agenda.

To learn more, visit the EDUCAUSE Challenges website.  It would be great to see MQ contributions there!
