TLT announces Digital Commons focus groups to be held in February
Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT), a unit of Information Technology Services, offers the Digital Commons at Penn State initiative to equip every campus location with a fully supported digital media production studio.

Faculty using “clickers” to add interactive learning to courses
Also known as clickers, student response systems are increasingly being used at Penn State as a way for faculty to add interactive learning to their classroom. Students use response pads to answer questions asked during lectures, with the results instantly available. This enables instructors to immediately assess comprehension of course material.

Poster session proposals sought for 2008 TLT Symposium
Faculty and staff are invited to submit a proposal for a poster session to be held at the 2008 Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology on Saturday, March 29 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel, University Park. In line with the Symposium theme of “The Collaborative Campus and the Culture of Teaching and Learning,” poster sessions can address such topics as collaborative tools, ways of incorporating student-created digital media, practices that foster student ownership of their learning, creation and use of shared learning resources, and the use of new learning spaces to extend the classroom experience. Because of an overwhelming number of presentation proposals, this session has been added to the program to allow more faculty and staff to share their stories. It is an informal way for people to gather together, network, and talk about their projects.
To access the proposal form, visit http://symposium.tlt.psu.edu/posterproposal/. The deadline to submit a proposal is February 7. For any questions, e-mail tltsymposium@psu.edu. The Symposium is sponsored by Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services.
