• The Learning Technology Consortium (LTC) brings together representatives from ten institutions who focus on academic technology. We discuss opportunities, challenges, new innovations and initiatives happening at our wide range of institutions. This group will consult for the DPL, and representatives from many of these institutions (including Duke, Notre Dame, and Penn State) already have innovative digital labs, have been through the process of developing them, and can offer practical guidance about how to start and then build this type of lab.

We also have connections to LEADR lab, the Lab for Education & Advancement in Digital Research at Michigan State , a space where undergraduate and graduate students learn digital methods to create and communicate innovative social science research. Through class visits and individual consultations, students can learn, experiment, and build digital projects using a variety of tools and technologies, and hope to learn from their experience.
