The TLT Group's Website
Teaching, Learning, and Technology affiliate of the American Association for Higher Education. "Higher education has begun an irreversible transformation, and information technology is part of it. New technology options arrive at an accelerating and confusing pace. It's easy, but not necessary, to waste time and money. The TLT Group helps you understand realistic options, develop effective strategies, and regain confidence and control. Though our collective experience on hundreds of campuses, in leading dozens of workshops, and in running a listserv with over 6,500 subscribers, we believe the best first step is establishing a TLT Roundtable."
