As Davidson’s liaison to the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE, pronounced as “nightly”), I invite you to participate in the broad range of opportunities offered through this organization. NITLE, a non-profit organization funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, offers a range of programming geared toward creating transformative learning experiences for and with students by applying technology in innovative ways.
Programming is offered in three general categories:
Professional development opportunities for faculty and staff.
Conferences, meetings, and seminars tailored around specific technology topics
Collaborative curricular development such as Sunoikisis and Al-Musharaka. Under Sunoikisis, inter-institutional collaborative team-taught courses in Classics have been developed. A similar collaboration under Al-Musharaka is growing in studies related to the Arab and Islamic worlds.
There is a nomination process and it is simply letting me know which opportunity you are interested in. As you look at the next three months of opportunities below, keep in mind our subscription to NITLE covers expenses for travel, food, and accommodation.
