Learning Technology Development Council

Misson

The mission of the LTDC is to encourage UW system-wide collaboration among campuses and support individual campus efforts that promote the pedagogically sound use of technology in teaching and learning, as well as explore the use of existing, new, and emerging technologies in higher education.

Vision

The vision of the LTDC is to enable highly engaged and collaborative teaching and learning environments at UW universities, enhanced by the pedagogically sound use of technology to foster active learning and critical thinking.

Campus Representative

The LTDC representative should be a person in a leadership position at the university learning technology unit, who has direct responsibilities in supporting or managing learning technology programs, works with faculty, has direct access to the academic leadership on campus, and is able to coordinate campus efforts to participate in collaborative projects with other UW universities. They should have a close connection with the campus LMS site-admin personnel and other instructional support or faculty development areas.

Expectations of a campus representative

• Act as a liaison to coordinate campus responses to the LTDC or UWs programs or initiatives
• Act as a champion to encourage and promote LTDC or UWs programs to campus faculty and other learning technology staff on campus
• Participate actively and lead in emerging technology or effective technology collaboration projects with other campus peers
