Most colleges and universities already have at least one committee or task group wrestling through a technology planning process. During the TLTR Program's first year almost 200 institutions began the TLTR process. Based on the remarkable success of that event, regional versions of it will be offered.
Plenary sessions introduce concepts and examples.
The AAHE TLTR Institutional Planning Grid and related materials are distributed, and training in their use is provided. Prior to the opening of a Regional TLTR Start-Up Workshop, workshop leaders and facilitators meet and prepare. Leaders and facilitators meet after the reception for a quick review of progress and revision of the plans as indicated. Shortly thereafter, leaders and facilitators review successes and identify areas in need of improvement for future workshops. In each region we also seek 10 to 20 co-sponsoring or collaborating institutions that can send teams to the Workshop.
