The Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable (TLTR) is comprised of WSU faculty and staff interested in using state of the art technology when teaching. The Wayne State University TLTR advises on issues relating to teaching and technology.

The roundtable consists of individuals representing groups and organizations on campus who either have a role teaching at Wayne State or support teaching with technology. The TLTR meets monthly or as needed, and breaks into smaller groups to discuss issues of campus technology and for specific tasks. TLTR meetings are open to anyone in the WSU community with an interest in higher education teaching using technology. Meeting dates and minutes of prior meetings can be found on the TLTR Web site.

Beginning in 2000 the TLTR has sponsored a day-long conference in March, at which faculty and staff have made presentations (refereed) to the campus on ways they have incorporated technology in their teaching.

Note: There was no TLTR Conference in 2005.

Abstracts of previous presentations at the Annual TLTR Conferences are included in the programs from each year listed below. Please click on the year to view each program in PDF.

Background Information on the TLTR.

The concept of the TLTR was developed by Steven Gilbert of the Technology Initiative of the American Association of Higher Education. Roundtables are a way to get a group a people (including faculty and staff) together on campus who are interested in and dedicated to supporting the appropriate uses of technology in teaching. To date, TLTRs have been formed at more than 300 colleges and universities around the country, including the University of Michigan, Michigan State, Oakland University, IUPUI and Georgetown. These roundtables have proven highly effective as a means of encouraging and guiding the use of information technology in learning, as well as building university-wide consensus for technological advances.

Wayne State's Roundtable was formed in October 1997, when a group of 14 WSU faculty and staff attended a TLTR Development Workshop run by the AAHE at University of Michigan-Dearborn. Also attending that workshop were teams from about a dozen other colleges and universities in the Midwest. Each team was assigned a peer institution to provide support and feedback; WSU's peer campus was Purdue University.
