NITLE events encourage intra- and inter-institutional collaboration around learning with technology, promoting pedagogical innovation around topics such as language and cultural studies, study abroad, spatial analysis and the visualization of data, and technology-enabled inter-campus teaching. Our user community events enable campuses to share the work of managing IT solutions in the service of liberal education.
Participating institutions are eligible to request to host NITLE Workshops To Go, bringing professional development programs for faculty and academic support staff directly to their home campuses. Our catalog of available topics is continuously refreshed and expanded so that participants can proactively adapt to technological change.
NITLE is seeking a participating campus to host 8 - 9 days of contiguous programming in June 2009, and invites participating campuses to begin campus discussions about these opportunities.

Inquiries from campuses considering possible application are welcome and should be sent to Nancy Millichap at nancy.millichap@nitle.org. Applications to host may be submitted online and are due by July 31, 2008.

A professional development series, delivered online via multi-point interactive videoconferencing, which offers a sequence of interactive discussions that showcase how faculty are using digital technology for teaching and learning in a variety of disciplines on liberal arts campuses. Participants will learn about successful models for digital teaching and discuss how they can implement these ideas in their own classrooms. The series will help faculty make the transition from learning a new technology to using it effectively for teaching and learning, and is accessible to participants from the convenient location of their campus offices. If you have questions regarding this series, or if you would like to propose a topic for presentation, please contact Rebecca Davis.
This professional development series will take place regularly on the first Friday of each month at noon Eastern / 11 Central / 9 Pacific, except where a major holiday requires scheduling on the second Friday. Programs in the series will engage members of the instructional technology community at participating colleges in leading discussions of their projects, approaches, techniques, solutions, and successful practices via interactive videoconferencing. The format is designed to encourage interaction and promote network engagement. Recent topics have included "Social Software, Language Study, and Study Abroad," "Digital Gaming for Teaching and Learning," and "Helping Faculty with Issues of Copyright and Fair Use." We welcome new ideas for individual programs in the series; individuals or groups wishing to propose programs are encouraged to contact Nancy Millichap.
