Workshops

Our thought-provoking--and fun--CTL Book Club is meeting for its sixth semester, and you are invited to join, whether it's for your first or sixth time!! Each semester we choose a book that has particular relevance to today's teaching and learning environment.. Previous books have focused on online learning, teaching as job training, the "new" classroom, the relevance of testing, and understanding AI as an opportunity rather than a threat. We have used these books as springboards into conversations that have truly made a difference in how we see ourselves and our students. This semester's book is the recently published BEYOND THE GRADE: RETHINKING LEARNING, ASSESSMENT, AND AI IN COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION, by Janice Tucker and Patricia Neely. Copies of this book will be available to members.

Are you chasing a score of 100%? We will host a morning, afternoon, and evening session weekly to any full or part time faculty interested in Panorama scores in their courses. Sessions will include tips and tricks learned, disabled features and what to be concerned about, plus information on fixing those hard problems. If we can't fix it, we will help you find a solution before the April deadline.

Want to know what the League of Innovations is up to? Interested in what community colleges across America are focused on? How about hot topics that are making waves and turning heads? We got you covered. Come and experience the key conference highlights.

If “competency-based” sounds intimidating, this workshop is for you. We’ll cut through the jargon and focus on how to re-frame an existing course into a competency-based format that’s clear, meaningful, and genuinely engaging—for students and for you. The emphasis is on intentional design, transparent expectations, and building a course that’s not just compliant, but actually enjoyable to teach. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and the courses that you already love, but want to love more!
