To help colleges and universities plan effective academic facilities using technology, a Learning Spaces and Technology Workshop will be offered February 17-19, 2006, at Rhodes College (TN). The workshop is being organized by the Council of Independent Colleges and the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) in collaboration with Project Kaleidoscope. Financial support for workshop participants is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. “Our first collaboration with NITLE on the Transformation of the College Library Workshops was a great success, and I’m looking forward to this one with enthusiasm. Focusing on technology-enhanced learning in campus spaces is a challenge for many CIC colleges,” said CIC President Richard Ekman. A learning space could be a library, computing center, classroom, or a computing or multi-media lab usually associated with libraries and computing centers. The workshop on technology-enhanced learning spaces is designed to serve both those institutions that are planning to construct new facilities and those that are intending to renovate existing buildings, seeking in both instances to enable faculty members and students to use technology more effectively and creatively in the service of learning. All independent colleges and universities are eligible to apply for the workshop; institutional teams that are accepted as participants will receive a stipend to offset travel costs up to $1,600. The deadline for applications is September 30, 2005. The application form, letter of invitation, and draft workshop program have been sent to presidents, chief academic officers, chief financial officers, and library directors of all CIC and NITLE members.
