In conjunction with this migration, CLIR initiated a rigorous analysis of NITLE’s current condition and the needs of its constituents. CLIR engaged a six-member team of consultants—all current or former CLIR Postdoctoral Fellows—to conduct the assessment under the direction of CLIR Senior Program Officer Alice Bishop, and Director of Research and Assessment Christa Williford.  \nMethodology  \nCLIR’s assessment of NITLE comprises three interrelated activities: composing a history of NITLE and setting it in the larger context of organizations devoted to technology in liberal education; conducting interviews with key stakeholders in NITLE’s past, present, and potential future; and ","cbCaiuXCHgULoxuk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuXCHgULoxuk","pdf",2238917,73,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Methodology\n## History of NITLE, 2001–2015\n## Findings from Interviews on Institutional and Sector Needs\n## Findings from a Survey on Institutional and Individual Needs\n## NITLE’s Future\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What prompted CLIR to conduct an assessment of NITLE?\",\"answer\":\"CLIR initiated a rigorous analysis after NITLE migrated its operations in July 2015, to understand NITLE’s current condition and the needs of its constituents.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the assessment methodology study NITLE?\",\"answer\":\"It combines three related activities: composing a history of NITLE, conducting stakeholder interviews, and designing and analyzing a survey of current and former members and interested parties.\"},{\"question\":\"What broad meaning does the paper give to “liberal education”?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a broad definition aligned with four facets: study of liberal arts and sciences; pedagogy emphasizing active learning and critical thinking; preparation for democratic citizenship and civic engagement; and association with liberal arts colleges.\"}]","National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education - An Assessment | PDF",1792047222,184]
