The Institute

Our program calendar offers a wide variety of professional development events for faculty and staff at independent, non-profit colleges and universities. Participating colleges can also use our Workshops-to-Go to plan professional development activities on their campuses. Workshop-to-Go topics are continuously refreshed and expanded so that participants can proactively adapt to technological change.

Upcoming Events

Our events encourage intra- and inter-institutional collaboration around challenging issues related to learning with technology. Our professional development events promote 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 collaborate and share the work of managing IT solutions in the service of liberal education. See the full calendar of upcoming NITLE events.

Workshops-to-Go

Participating colleges--individually or collaboratively--can request to host one of our Workshops-to-Go, bringing professional development programs for faculty and academic support staff directly to their home campuses or a neighboring campus. Browse our catalog of available topics.

Special Topics in Spatial Analysis and Mapping

A professional development series, delivered online via multi-point interactive videoconferencing, which offers a sequence of hour-long interactive discussions that will engage participants in an exchange of ideas and solutions for GIS and other mapping technologies used in higher education. The series addresses the interests of faculty, instructional technologists, GIS specialists, and librarians of all skill levels, and is accessible to participants from the convenient location of their campus offices. If you have questions about this series, or if you would like to propose a topic for presentation, please contact Sean Connin.

Special Topics in Digital Teaching

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.

Special Topics for Instructional Technologists

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.
