TLT Group Inc. Annual Summer Symposium starting next week: "You are not alone! Queries and Strategies for Collaborative Change"
You are not alone! Queries and Strategies for Collaborative Change
Aug 3, 9, and 11 at 1:00 - 2:00pm Eastern. Free to TLT Group Individual Members; Fee for non-member registrations.
The topic of this year’s Symposium focuses on the use of collaboration by small groups of faculty and academic professionals to improve teaching and learning with technology in specific courses as well as address current major challenges in higher education.
Guest presenters will demonstrate specific kinds of collaboration already being successfully implemented at some institutions: Student-Faculty, Faculty-Faculty, Faculty-Librarian, Faculty-Faculty Development, and Faculty-Tech. Participants should expect a high level of interaction among and with presenters. We encourage all in higher education - faculty, librarians, faculty developers, administrators - to attend our annual symposium.
We believe that focusing on small, realistic steps will lead to more widespread, long-lasting changes. We invite you to join us in transforming teaching and learning with technology.
