"NUTN Interactives" are NUTN's membership and outreach activities--events and tools that bring together NUTN members and other professionals in the field. NUTN Interactives are designed to support professional networking and engagement around issues of importance to higher education leaders. Participants in activities hosted by NUTN Interactives gain deeper insight into such issues and are better prepared to lead change.
NUTN Interactives include:
- Phone Forums
Get together with other NUTN members in one of these bi-weekly, lively audio conferences, each focusing on a different topic related to leadership and strategy for innovation in higher education. A guest kicks off the discussion by briefly describing one institution's experience with the issue at hand, and then the conversation opens up for all participants on the call. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, pick up the phone and dial in, and get ready to share your own questions, ideas, and stories! View descriptions of upcoming and recent phone forums.
- The Weekly Spark
Each week, via the NUTN email list, one of our NUTN Resource Groups sends out an idea, a resource, a discussion starter, a challenge, or something else to get our members thinking. Members are invited to jump in and respond, or just glean whatever ideas and resources they can from each week's Spark. See some recent Sparks.
- NUTN Radio
In this series of audioconferences--open to NUTN members and non-members alike--we talk about current issues in online and distance learning. The audioconferences are done in a radio talk-show format. We interview a couple of guests, engage them in a dialogue, and participants are able to ask questions and join the conversation "live on air." The programs are recorded and made available as podcasts. Listen to some past NUTN radio programs.
- Web Conferences
NUTN Resource Groups plan and present occassional web conferences featuring higher education innovators--people leading change at their institutions and beyond. Watch for new NUTN Web Conferences in Spring of 2008.
- Resource Pages
The NUTN Member email list is hosted at Google Groups. Inside our NUTN Google Group, each of our resource groups has set up a a resource page with links to information and resources about that group's particular focus area. These resources are reviewed and refreshed regularly.
NUTN Interactives are designed and organized by NUTN's Resource Group chairs, NUTN members who've taken the lead to help focus our members on topics of particular interest:
- Assessment and Evaluation
- Corporate and Military
- Distance Learning
- International
- Strategic Partnerships
- Technology and Applications
