Instructional Technology Series

A collaborative effort, sponsored in part by the Learning and Teaching Centre and Learning Systems, is the Instructional Technology Series (ITS). The ITS provides an opportunity for educators to meet in a casual setting to discuss IT topics of interest. The group decides upon topics amongst itself, and one or more members facilitates the discussion. The group usually meets once a month over lunch. Discussion topics are announced before hand and members come to as many meetings as they like.
