Over the past year the LDT program has explored methods to better support and communicate with the students of our online programs. Our L-EDTEC mailing list continues to be a primary outlet for pushing information to our community. But there are so many other channels that are more fun, rich, and conversational. We have posted and discussed a number of LDT program details on our Twitter feed (@psuldt). We have videos of interviews with our faculty and students (with more videos forthcoming) on our YouTube channel. And now, at the center of it all, we have this blog, LDT Online FAQs and Figures, as the landing page and eventual go-to source for news and updates.
We will still use our L-EDTEC mailing list to push information to our students, but the e-mailed newsletters will serve as summaries of ongoing communications on this blog.
