The Learning Technology Consortium was initiated in 1998 by University of Pittsburgh Vice Provost Robert Pack as a partnership of institutions with similar instructional goals, strong technology and faculty support programs, and an interest in collaboration in the area of teaching and learning with technology.

LTC representatives meet semiannually at a member campus. At these meetings and through membership in LTC, members are provided opportunities for:

• Conversations with learning technology leaders on the selection, implementation, and challenges of various learning technologies
• Benchmarking services, organizational structures, strategic plans, and institutional policies with higher ed leaders
• Collaboration on research, publications, and presentations
• Ongoing access to colleagues for extended input and collaboration on instructional technology and faculty development projects
• Touring member campus innovations such as labs, creative spaces, and classroom design
• Sharing success stories and best practices in learning technologies, instructional design, and faculty development
