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 timely topics of particular interest to UNC campuses 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
• current UNC initiatives, such as UNC Tomorrow and The University of North Carolina Online, partnerships among institutions (e.g. 2+2 activities, Learn and Earn), and Course Redesign.

This year's conference is co-sponsored by the UNC TLT Collaborative and the UNC Faculty Assembly.

Given the current economic situation, the TLTC Board and staff have decided to host this year's Conference completely online [view announcement], eliminating the need for travel. In addition, the TLTC Board and staff have also decided to suspend the registration fee! You can attend from your home, office, library . . .  anywhere you have a broadband internet connection -- for free!!

While there is no registration fee, presenters and participants are still required to register for the conference.
