The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) is a consortium of the Big Ten member universities plus the University of Chicago. Made up of peer groups, typically self-organizing groups from member universities who get together to share ideas and best practices, the CIC gives our campus a place to network with colleagues and to collaborate across institutions. The E-Learning Team staff in the Office of the CIO participate in the Learning Technology (CIC-LT) Peer Group. Our focus in the CIC-LT group is on emerging technologies related primarily to teaching and learning. For example, with lecture capture, the CIC-LT group would tend to discuss the value and the needs from a teaching, learning and faculty support focus. We are pleased to share that Leslie Hammersmith is the Chair-Elect for the CIC-LT group and will serve as Chair from April 2012-April 2013.
