We've had some fantastic online sessions the past two weeks,
great presenters, lively interaction, and lots of good reading and thinking
as a result. Those sessions covered a wide range of topics --
useful Apps for students and faculty, developing new guidelines for TLT
Roundtables to manage current conditions at institutions, and Project
Information Literacy. Upcoming sessions focus on using technology to
enhance teaching practices.
If you haven't joined us at a FridayLive! or a
workshop in a while, you should! We are proud to have some of the most
creative, experienced, and thoughtful faculty and staff in higher ed today as
frequent participants, presenters, and good friends.
Some
of those folks are featured in our TLT Group
Recommended Readings lists - we've just posted them to the
TLT-SWG Blog, so check it out!

Featured post:
How
closely do the characteristics of LTAs first introduced ten years ago fit the
Apps we have begun to use in higher education today? Read full postBefore there were Apps: "The Beauty of Low-Threshold Applications" - Still APPlicable today! From “The Beauty of Low-Threshold Applications” Syllabus, 2002: “No individual faculty member can keep up with the pace of new instructional and professional development techniques. Nor can any one LTA individually help "almost all of the faculty." While each faculty member might be able to use an LTA to help some other faculty members, collaborations among faculty leaders, faculty development professionals, librarians, and technology professionals are likely to reach further and more effectively. By collaborating, these different professionals have a better chance of getting on top of the chaos, of identifying more effective and useful resources, and of developing more attractive and feasible programs for the mainstream faculty members. It may be just the right time to apply some of the "Open Course" principles, practices, and tools to the improvement of teaching and learning.” |
