| League’s Conference
on Information Technology, Innovations conference,
and other gatherings. Keynote speakers include nationally
recognized figures such as Senator Edward Kennedy and
Kweisi Mfume, and leaders in the community college
field such as Kay McClenney and Terry O’Banion.
League Radio, hosted
by League President and CEO Mark David Milliron,
features interviews with national leaders in community
college education, including community college CEOs
Sandford S. Shugart, Walter Bumphus, Alice Villadsen,
and Mary Spilde. Several forums—League TLC,
CCTI, and SAIL—are already live on iStream,
and additional discussion groups, online events,
and interactive capabilities are being developed.
The interactive features of
iStream allow users to join a community of learners
in asynchronous discussions of topics that interest
community college educators, to share successful
strategies and practices with colleagues around the
world, and to seek solutions to problems and challenges
colleges and their members face. As professional
development resources for faculty, staff, and administrators,
iStream’s publications and presentations also
provide a wealth of information and ideas for educators
and staff. One of the highlights of the professional
development resources is the LENs faculty development
program. This six-module program was designed by
and for faculty and can be used as independent study
or as a series of workshops. The modules, workshop
materials, and facilitator guide are accessible through
iStream, and a LENs facilitator training program
is available through Humber College.
