I can’t seem to open the link – I tried this morning, then again this afternoon. I’m getting edtech.atikkam.com can’t be found. 🙁

Aha! Apologies for talking to myself again, but I think I know why Helen is unable to see the comments she’d like to respond to. If you are not logged into the ocTEL site, you can see posts, but not comments.

We have the same scenario you describe, where some areas have a local learning technologist, others don’t. Although I’m part of a central team, we have one person assigned to each faculty.
