~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FRIDAY LIVE!
Friday, February 12, 2:00 pm ET
Presenters: Steve Ehrmann, TLT Group, and Craig Bach, Drexel University
One way to improve teaching and learning is for faculty and for students to both get a clearer idea of what s been going on in the course. For example, what students learn is heavily influenced by how much time, energy and thought they put into doing homework, and how well prepared they are when they come to class sessions. So what could a faculty member ask students to help that faculty member figure out how to make future homework assignments more successful? Many faculty use technologies such as PowerPoint slides and online discussions; what could faculty ask students about those uses of technology that would help the faculty make future slide shows more compelling, and future discussions more engaging? Come hear about feedback tools being jointly developed by Drexel and TLT Group that make use of student feedback in courses more enticing and rewarding. FridayLive! sessions FREE to all...REGISTER

Information Literacy and Assessment
An ACRL/TLT Group Online Workshop
Thursdays, February 25, March 4 and 11 at 1:00 pm ET
Presenters: Debra Gilchrist, Pierce College and Anne Zald, University of Nevada Las Vegas
Seminar leaders will provide practical, specific examples for conducting an assessment of information literacy programs and will explore the questions surrounding assessment, such as - do we assess the process or what students find? How do we determine effectiveness of programs? Are we having the desired impact in the classroom? Seminar participants should be actively involved in information literacy programs and need to conduct assessments. REGISTER
FRIDAYLIVE!
Online Communities - What's Happe-NING 2 years Later
Friday, February 26 at 2:00 pm ET
Presenters: Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group, Scott Simkins, NC A&T, and Ning SoTL Community
The TLT Group started using Ning back in February 22, 2008* for it's community building and conversation-promoting features. We have found that this platform is easy to manage and allows for asynchronous threaded discussion, attaching documents and rss/email notification. We will talk about our experiences and share and compare with others who have been experimenting with this free, easily accessible social networking tool for community building. Scott Simkins of NC A&T will share how this has been used to support a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Community (with over 150 members exchanging ideas and materials). We will discuss the possibilities and the challenges associated with establishing, promoting and maintaining such cross-institutional communities. REGISTER
WORKSHOP
Strategic Planning for Teaching and Learning (with Technology): "Ten Things I (No Longer) Believe"
Tuesdays, March 16, 23, and 30 at 1:00 pm ET
Presenter: Steve Ehrmann, The TLT Group and guests.
Academic programs evolve as the result of environmental changes, formal planning, and day-to-day decisions (often made with no consciousness of their influence on the future). This workshop will focus mostly on the second and third factors. This will be a real workshop: we'll read, think and write together to produce materials you can use at your institution for planning and for staff development. REGISTER
WORKSHOP
ePortfolios
Thursdays, April 8, 15, 22 at 1:00 pm ET
Presenter: Darren Cambridge, George Mason University and Steve Ehrmann, the TLT Group.
An ePortfolio can be a powerful tool for assessment, but it can also be used to create a stimulating, empowered learning environment. Join us for a discussion of such topics as what an ePortfolio actually is, things to consider when planning an ePortfolio initiative and how to use faculty and student feedback in the development process.
