Small Liberal Arts Colleges Face Unique Challenges
• Personality of the sector
• Scale
• Staffing
![Page 3: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
NITLE Centers Strategy
• Address these challenges by tapping unique strengths
• Three Centers:– CET/MANE– ACSTC– MITC
![Page 4: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
MITC Collaboration: A Core Value and Strength
• Interdisciplinary
• Multi-profession
• Multi-campus
• Collaboration
![Page 5: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Challenges for Effective Programming
• Symposia get people excited– Yet, what happens when they return to campus?
• Workshops give people skills– Yet, how to bridge technical skill with pedagogical
goals?
• Who is served?– How do we serve more than the “usual suspects”?
![Page 6: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“Park and Go” Model Seeks To Address Challenges
• Combine symposium & workshop in one event• Invite three groups to symposium:
– Experienced presenters
– Symposium-only novices
– Intermediate workshop teams
• Workshop for teams with project to develop– Teams made up of
• Faculty member with project idea
• Teammate to serve as support

The Planning
Hosting doesn’t mean going it alone . . .
• Planning group made up of– 5-6 Campuses– Faculty– Instructional technologists– Librarians
![Page 10: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Proposal
• Planning group writes a proposal
• Reviewed by Advisory Group made up of:– CAOs– Faculty – Librarians– Instructional technologists
![Page 11: Not Just Making Waves: Making a Difference with Intensive Multi-Campus Workshops Alex Wirth-Cauchon Associate Director, Midwest Instructional Technology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eb45503460f94bbb863/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

sessions
• Active participation by all
• Foundation for further collaboration
