The Making the Case Project Explained

One important dimension of the LTL Program is empowering participants to engage in problem solving, creative thinking, teamwork, and strategic planning. To this end, a team-based project has been designed to serve as an underlying theme throughout the LTL Program. The Making the Case (MTC) team project is designed to give participants a chance to think creatively about some of the ideas discussed throughout the week, apply the ideas to an actual learning technology problem, and communicate a proposed solution to university administration. All MTC teams will work through the same case scenario as in years past. The MTC teams will be assigned by the faculty. The guidelines for the MTC project are designed to provide individual teams with the latitude they need to apply their creativity and innovation to the project outcome. There are, however, a few common parameters for the final projects that will be covered during the program. Each MTC team will make a presentation on its project toward the end of the program.

OBJECTIVES: Integrate and apply the concepts discussed throughout the LTL Program curriculum * Collaborate on a team-based approach to solve a hypothetical problem that draws on real-world issues * Apply the concepts discussed in the Institute to form a cohesive team, communicate at an appropriate level, and problem solve using innovative strategies
