EdupageEdupage was a publication of Educause. It was a free three-time-a-week electronically distributed summary of technology news extracted from the mainstream media that was first released to a circulation of less than 100 in 1992. It was originally written by John Gehl and Suzanne Douglas, who left in April 1999[3] to devote their full attention to their company which publishes a daily newsletter similar to Edupage. Edupage is currently in a publishing hiatus (since December 2006), as Educause looks at different ways to deliver resources and content to their audience.[4] HistoryEducause was formed from a merger of Cause and Educom in 1998. The two organizations were the two major information technology associations within higher education.[5] CAUSE grew out of a users group known as the College and University Systems Exchange.[6][7] See also
