Penn State Learning Design Community Hub

Just before the 2009 TLT Symposium, we created a "banner ad" of sorts to advertise the Symposium.  Afterward, we replaced this ad with promotional widget about the Learning Design Summer Camp.  Today, we changed it again to advertise a Faculty Quickstart Guide that lists technologies and services that can help to transform a course (Adobe Connect, ANGEL, Blogs, Digital Commons, Tech Classrooms, etc...). 

Hi all,

I created a new forum specifically for discussion on PSU ID Professional Development at

This forum should be used to discuss how we structure our professional development in a way that:

Hi all,

In the past, we've always met in August for some professional development. I started several months ago to ask you for some ideas for a possible event this year, but response to date is pretty slim. So, let's work together to try a new approach.

Allan Gyorke (former Hazelton IDS) and I have created a Wiki document to plan an event for August. We've run this by several others, but really need your input to make it a great event. The Wiki doc is located at

Hi everyone,
I just returned from a really great conference focused on teaching in higher-ed: The Teaching Professor Conference. If you are looking for professional development that focuses on teaching (not so much technology), then this is one I highly recommend. The presenters were top notch and the pre-workshop sessions and keynote were by nationally known authors and experts.

Hi all,

I'm kicking around the idea of having a Fall 08 meeting for us. I'd like to have an entire day, and can probably swing a provided lunch and afternoon snack. In the past we've focused on specific tools, etc. as part of the training for the day. I'd like to get away from that and into more pedagogical discussions, community building activities, and joint projects we all benefit from.
