Online Events
NITLE offers a variety of "Special Topics" programs, all of which are held online and allow participants to engage in highly interactive and personally engaging discussion around a topic relevant to small, liberal arts colleges. These lower-cost, limited-enrollment, virtual programs are developed in response to participant input, addressing broad themes related to technology in liberal education.
NITLE also offers larger, online conferences at which participants can share presentations and discover solutions in a collaborative environment.
To register for any of these events, please send an e-mail to participate@nitle.org.
