In 2011, the educational technologists of the New York Six Liberal Arts Consortium created the Instructional Technology Apprenticeship Program. The goal: engage students in a one-year consortial paraprofessional educational technology experience incorporating teaching, learning, and real-world practice. Now in its third year, ITAP has experimented with and developed new approaches to consortium-level course support, pedagogy, blended learning, professional development, and networking, all of which create heightened agility, connectivity, and bold new opportunities in our educational technology efforts.Please join our apprentices and mentors for student presentations to understand the unique benefits and challenges involved in this work.


OUTCOMES: Explore strategies for developing consortiums and student professional development programs and attendant challenges and opportunities * Understand how to build a collaborative, blended learning experience emphasizing instructional design, leadership, and online learning
