Technology Learning Assistants Program
What is it?
Technology Learning Assistants (TLAs) help Penn State faculty members at University Park use technology in their classes. TLAs spend a semester or more in one-on-one consultations (5 to 10 meetings) to answer technology questions and help faculty learn the skills necessary to use ANGEL, create Web pages, develop PowerPoint slides, develop a grade book, and learn other technology skills.
TLAs are available to assist full- and part-time faculty at University Park. They cannot support teaching assistants or support staff.
