The TLT Group: Teaching, Learning, Technology

The TLT Group

The TLT Group's mission is to motivate and enable institutions and individuals to improve teaching and learning with technology, while helping them cope with continual change.

The non-profit TLT Group has helped over 500 educational institutions, associations, and corporations around the world to improve teaching and learning by making more appropriate and cost-effective use of information technology without sacrificing what matters most. Led by Steve Gilbert and Steve Ehrmann, and featuring assessment tools from the award-winning Flashlight Program, The TLT Group can help accelerate educational improvement while easing the stresses of institutional change.

The TLT Group makes these benefits available through focused assistance, institutional subscription programs, free resources and its Online Institute. The TLT Group provides materials, tools, and services in three, overlapping areas.

First, most institutions today face a “support service crisis.” Their needs for technical assistance, professional development, and other aids for improving courses and learning have far outstripped the number of available staff. The TLT Group helps distance, hybrid/blended, and campus-bound programs make more cost-effective use of technology. Among the many areas of expertise: "low threshold" ideas and tools that can spread from person to person without the need for workshops and training for undergraduates so that they can provide sophisticated consulting and technical assistance.

Second, the idea has gradually spread that assessment, program evaluation and cost analysis can all be tools used by faculty and other staff to help improve their own work while controlling stress on people and budgets. The TLT Group’s Flashlight Program has been a leader in this area, providing evaluation tools, training, external evaluation, and a host of other services.
