Teaching and Learning Technology Roundtable (TLTR)

OHSU’s TLTR is based on a model created by the Teaching, Learning and Technology Group, a semi-autonomous affiliate of the American Association of Higher Education (AAHE).  The Roundtable is designed to bring together people who would not otherwise collaborate on educational improvements, providing a forum for discussion and sharing on issues related to educational technologies.

Through TLTRs meetings, action teams and reports, the Roundtable can help OHSU make better-informed decisions, sustain collaborative change, and develop better strategies for using technology to improve teaching and learning.

Upcoming TLTR’s

February 19th: Social Networking? Secure Networking?
What are the security implications of having a Facebook presence in the workplace? What security measures are currently in place at OHSU? How is social networking changing how we communicate in and outside of the workplace?

2009 TLTR Meetings

Friday January 22nd Noon to 1pm: Best Practices in Sakai Online Course Design

  • This TLTR session showcased the best of the best and presented the key component to building effective and efficient online course.  Hearing directly from the Academic Technology team, participants learned the tricks of the trade, found solutions to design questions and explored new ways to present your courses online.
  • In addition we invite you to download the 10 Things to do before launching your site and the PowerPoint Presentation. (The Adobe Connect session is unavailable due to a technical problem.)

Friday November 20th- Noon to 1p.m.: Distance Learning: A Cloud Based Approach

  • The November 2009 TLTR session showcased the pioneering work of Ryan Palmer, the Administrative Director of Principles of Clinical Medicine (PCM).  Charged with finding a cost effective, reliable way to connect students on rural rotations with their colleagues on the Portland campus, he designed a reliable, user-friendly and cost-effective way to make it happen.  Through trial and error, Ryan discovered just how simple it could be to provide students with the technology they needed to stay on track for graduation.
