Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia
For cross-functional campus teams of faculty members, instructional technologists, librarians, and their leadership that are interested in networking with peers from other participating colleges, presenting and receiving feedback about their efforts to advance their institutions' teaching and learning missions, and learning from and collaborating with peers pursuing similar efforts. (5 program units. Registration deadline: November 21, 2008)
Some sessions will be most engaging if participants bring a laptop. This year WIFI will be available throughout the event.
As a community, NITLE participating colleges face similar challenges and opportunities vis-ŕ-vis digital technology. At the same time, institutions must also deal with unique situational needs that inspire a variety of strategic responses. At the annual NITLE Summit, participating teams will engage in high-level, peer-to-peer sharing with colleagues from other participating colleges, sharing information about the strategic responses and successful tactical approaches they have pursued to strengthen their learning missions with digital technology. By pooling the specific knowledge and experiences of individual institutions in an inter-institutional context, participating teams can identify common concerns and transform them into opportunities for collaboration.
Some comments from participants in the 2008 NITLE Summit:
The NITLE Summit facilitates networking across professional lines toward the collective goal of advancing teaching and learning in the digital age. By bringing together a range of perspectives to look at the big picture of advancing teaching and learning at small, undergraduate-focused institutions, the Summit offers an annual opportunity
The 2009 NITLE Summit will build on what we have learned from previous events. It will include
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Monday, March 30, 2009
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this program, please contact your liaison, who will let you know whether your institution has program units available to support your participation. If so, your liaison will contact NITLE to register you to participate. (Note that campus policies on the use of program units vary. Liaisons, please register participants by e-mailing participate@nitle.org.)
If no units are currently available, your liaison--following campus policy--may purchase them on your behalf or may recommend that you or your department purchase them. If you or your department chooses to purchase program units for your use, please make the purchase and register for this program by sending an e-mail message to participate@nitle.org, including the program title and your name, job title, and e-mail address. NITLE will send you an invoice and confirmation of your registration.
For more information about this conference's program/content, please contact Alex Wirth-Cauchon.
For logistical questions, please contact Julie Lancaster at julie.lancaster@nitle.org.
Leaders of instructional technology attending the Summit may be interested in also registering for the Instructional Technology Leaders Conference (March 27 - 29, 2009, Ursinus College) that immediately precedes it. In 2009, NITLE has scheduled the Summit and IT Leaders events back-to-back and in close proximity in the Philadelphia area. We hope that these arrangements will provide a rich opportunity to participants interested in both events and reduce the inconvenience and cost of travel away from campus.
Participants who register for both events may do so for 10 program units, 2 program units less than the combined costs of these events.
