Who qualifies for the TWT program?
- Graduate students – Instructors who are in a post-graduate program within the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts and who have had instructional experience in a course using technology can submit a portfolio. This includes Graduate Assistants (GA) and other graduate candidates with instructional experience.
- Instructors – College of the Liberal Arts instructors who are on the Penn State payroll and who have used technology in a course can submit a portfolio. This may include full-time instructors, part-time instructors as well as instructors who have other roles within Penn State. If you are not clear about your situation, please contact the program coordinators.
Note: Participants may begin the TWT process before completing all their technology training and instruction. However, the final portfolio should include actual examples of technology in instruction.
Registration
For both programs, you need to first identify yourself to your departmental TWT coordinator.
Timeline
Participants can begin work during any semester, but must have portfolios approved prior to leaving Penn State.
Deadlines
Specific deadlines are announced for fall, spring and summer sessions, although there is flexibility for completing and approving portfolios.
- Graduate students – Graduate students portfolios should be approved before graduation. Thus deadlines correspond to a period of two weeks before the final written thesis is due.
- Instructors – Contact your departmental TWT coordinator for deadline information.
