Technology offers the opportunity for learning to become more collaborative and extend beyond the classroom. When carefully designed and thoughtfully applied, technology can accelerate, amplify, and expand the impact of effective teaching practices. Educators no longer discuss IF technology should be used but HOW it can improve learning. Technology increasingly is being used to personalize learning and give students more choice over what and how they learn and at what pace, preparing them to organize and direct their own learning for the rest of their lives.

The CTLA strives to provide continuous, just-in-time support for educators endeavoring to rethink when, where and how students complete different components of a learning experience.
