Provosts on Portals
a joint project of
 
American Association 
of State Colleges and Universities 
and

 

   

Provosts on Portals is a project designed for  AASCU provosts and 
chief academic officers.  It is the result of a partnership between 
AASCU and the TLT Group to explore just-in-time learning for very 
busy senior university officials.  The topic for the first pilot project 
is web portals, an emerging phenomenon that promises to 
revolutionize the ways universities can communicate and create 
community.  

Participants receive very brief e-mails, in a sequenced order, 
providing information on various aspects of web portals.  The e-mails  
contain links to sample web portals, papers about portals, and other 
resources.  Participants receive two e-mails a week, starting on 
October 2nd, and ending in mid-December.   If you are new to this 
material, one suggested approach is to sequence these lessons in 
the order in which they were presented.
