Colleague to Colleague (C2C) originated as the staff development sub-group of the Heartland Alliance, but subsequently has become a professional association of faculty, staff and administrators from a variety of Kansas and Missouri institutions. Our goal is to share technology expertise, resources, and training with a special emphasis on distance education and instructional technology in Kansas and Missouri.
We hope that the http://www.ks-alliance.org/ Web site will serve as a gateway for students and educators to information and resources related to distance education and instructional technology. Participating institutions in C2C include Kansas or Missouri technical and community colleges, State Regents universities, as well as private institutions of higher education with common interests and goals.
C2C cosponsors the Summer Institute on Distance Learning and Instructional Technology (SIDLIT--pronounced sidelight) in conjunction with Johnson County Community College.
The 8th Annual SIDLIT (a free conference for faculty, administrators, librarians, student services and tech support staff) is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, August 2-3, 2007 at The University of Kansas - Edwards Campus in Overland Park, KS.
Last year's SIDLIT drew approximately 200 participants. The first issue of SIDLIT News 2007 will be available online soon.
