With Engagement affiliation, everyone at your institution can benefit from:

• Two days of consulting/training from TLT Group staff and Senior Associates; get more days at substantial discounts from regular rates. (Institutions have used as many as 150 consulting days a year; this 8-minute narrated slideshow mentions just a few ways in which past subscribers have used our consulting and suggests ways to pay for a subscription.)  Training/consulting is usually delivered through a mix of on-site visits and online interaction.  Naming just a few possibilities -- we can:

  • deliver a keynote for your faculty institute;

  • plan the faculty training for your next grant proposal involving educational uses of technology;

  • offer train-the-trainer workshops to help faculty learn to use student evidence to improve teaching

  • help you evaluate your current institutional strategies and resources for improving teaching and learning and develop new strategies that reach and engage more faculty;

  • reduce conflict and overlap by helping you organize a TLT Roundtable and a virtual teaching, learning and technology center;

  • help your faculty evaluate and improve their hybrid courses, blended courses, online courses...

If you'd like to include 5, 50 or more days in your subscription, contact us (info @ tltgroup.org) about prices.  Option: If your institution finds it doesn't need some of those consulting hours, it can carry the over for one more year or exchange them for free registrations for the Online Institute workshops of your choice.

• Our goal is to help your faculty, staff and students do productive and influential studies.  To that end we provide a handbook on how to do such studies, materials for your workshops, online workshops we offer directly for your users.

  • Resources to help you consider possibilities created by technology as you do curricular planning, especially general education reform
