Formerly hosted by the UNC TLT Collaborative, this year the TLT Conference is being hosted by UNC-Pembroke, with support by the UNC System, and will be held April 13-15, 2010 in Second Life. The presentations and demonstrations will be held on the five NC Education WeBIEE islands.  NC Education is a Second Life group funded by the community colleges and open to all of North Carolina education.

This year’s conference theme is: Embracing Change: Innovative Teaching Through Technology

This annual conference, held since 2000, provides a statewide forum to network and exchange information about the effective use of technology for teaching and learning (TLT). The term TLT refers to teaching methods and learning environments that incorporate instructional and library-based technologies, whether face-to-face or online.

The conference emphasizes a wide range of TLT activities, from effective current practices to emerging technologies. Presentations might include:

• collaborative efforts to accomplish TLT initiatives
• instructional resources, approaches, and outcomes
• technological, pedagogical, library, and administrative policies and support issues
• research, assessment, evaluation, and critical analyses to increase understanding of TLT practices
• quality assurance, student retention, efficiency, and effectiveness of TLT efforts

Because the conference is being hosted in Second Life, you can attend from your home, office, library . . . anywhere you have a broadband internet connection -- for FREE!!

That’s right, the 2010 conference is free! While there is no registration fee, presenters and participants will still be required to register for the conference.
