CTELT'S New Website

The CTELT web development team has re-designed our website. New features of the website include addition of the mission, goals, and values statements; video testimony by faculty members; an online tour of the Front Office and the Training Room; links to the professional organizations; and more resources concerning teaching excellence and learning technology. Through the website, we hope to allow the campus community to better understand the role of CTELT and provide more resources and better navigation to the audience.

Professional Memberships

CTELT has joined three professional organizations: Academic Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Co-Lab, New Media Consortium (NMC), and Teaching, Learning and Technology (TLT) Group. The Academic ADL Co-Lab is a non-profit organization that promotes high quality and reusable content for distributed learning. New Media Consortium is a not-for-profit consortium of leading colleges and universities dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. The TLT Group is a non-profit organization that helps institutions to improve educational uses of technology. By associating our unit with the professional organizations, we hope to network with professionals in other institutions and share resources, ideas, and practices in the field of instructional technology.

Professional Conferences

Kenny Rigler, Integrated Learning Technologies Specialist, attended the Colleague to Colleague Fall Forum that was held at Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas. Attendants included curriculum staff, instructional technology staff, library staff, and others from both 4-year and 2-year colleges in the state of Kansas. A variety of topics were presented and discussed, including information literacy, automated e-learning, online educational strategies, and the Kan-Ed Empowered Desktop. The forum was an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with other instructional technology staff from around the state.
