Participants in the 2004 CIC Teaching and Learning Mentors Institute explored how to help their institutions advance to new levels in using technology in teaching and learning. The conference, held at Otterbein College (OH) on July 28-30, 2004, attracted 108 “Teaching and Learning Mentors” (faculty members, faculty development professionals, and information technology staff members) from 67 colleges and universities.
     The Institute covered a broad range of disciplines and topics using a variety of formats, from hands-on workshops, to presentations by national experts, to roundtable discussions. Among the topics discussed were the future of digital technologies and its implications for teaching, learning, scholarship, and decision-making at independent colleges and universities.
     A first for the Institute was a team of students who presented ways to incorporate IT support into a college’s writing/critical reasoning skills support center. A group of participants also examined the possibility of future collaborative work to explore ways to gain access to and use open source ePortfolio software and other open source tools.
