Low Threshold Applications (LTAs), are instructional technology applications that are reliable, accessible, and easy to learn. The impact of each can easily be observed and they can contribute to changes in teaching and learning, such as:
- Fielding Student Questions Efficiently Online
- Increasing Student Access with Virtual Office Hours
- Using Technology as a Feedback Tool for Student Writing
The workshops will each focus on:
- LTAs packaged in standard software applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel , which are not normally associated with educational use,
- Newer educationally designed software that are low cost,
- Free applications, such as Open Source, that can be modified into an educational forum.
