 * Innovative Online Tools & Resources For Faculty, Staff, Administration, and Students **

The mission-driven League for Innovation in the Community College brings new and innovative tools and multimedia resources to community colleges. The presentation focuses on online resources provided to support innovation, professional development, collaboration and research through the League’s iStream community site. The overview highlights favorite uses of the resources by current iStream subscribers. After a quick overview, this session transitions to a high-level walkthrough of the over 40 years worth of current and archived community college focused resources found through iStream, including streaming video, publications, project highlights, and open educational resources (OER). The presentation is organized around the needs of four key audiences: administrators, faculty, staff, and students, and the benefits to be derived from the partnership in each of the following areas: Support for Innovation, Professional Development Opportunities, Tools for Collaboration, and Shared Resources and Research. After a “show and tell” of the resources and some of the exemplary applications, the audience is invited to discuss additional uses of the materials and invited to explore the sites more deeply. Questions and discussion are encouraged throughout, and a complimentary two-week trial will be offered to those who attend this session.
