nTITLE overview
nTITLE's mission is to provide faculty at the University of Iowa with resources and intensive training for integrating new instructional and delivery technologies into their teaching. This program supplements and integrates other resources and training available at the university. The program is a collaborative effort among the Center for Teaching, Information Technology Services (ITS), and the University Libraries.

The core of nTITLE is a four day workshop which is offered several times each summer. Twenty-four faculty participate in each workshop. Participants are selected by their Colleges. In the workshops, faculty discuss and share their existing instructional strategies, learn about new ones such as problem-based learning and cognitive apprenticeship, and progress through a series of coached hands-on activities to learn new tools such as PowerPoint, Photoshop and WebCT. In addition to the training, participants receive a $2,000 mini grant to purchase additional equipment and software to implement skills and strategies they learn in the workshops. Extensive post-workshop support is provided to participants (via a Web site, individual consultations, and assistance through the Center for Teaching, ITS, and the Libraries) so that participants can continue to work on projects started during the workshops. An evaluation and revision cycle is built in each year.
