Did you know Ohio has the largest single state collaborative of eTutoring across the continent? That’s because there is a great deal of support for a program that began as a grass roots collaborative effort and has blossomed across the state.

Understanding how a collaborative offers a cost-efficient and effective model for an eTutoring program was the focal point of a presentation eStudent Services delivered at the recent Association of Colleges for Tutoring and Learning (ACTLA) Conference. The presentation was titled, “Chronicles of Ohio’s eTutoring Collaborative and Steps to Start Your State’s Collective.”  

In order to contribute to our never-ending quest for a great user experience, I recently attended and presented at Designing for Digital, a conference specifically for those working on user experience issues in libraries. For me, this conference was not only an opportunity to present the work we’re doing at OhioLINK, but also a chance to learn from others engaged in similar efforts.

Conferences are wonderful experiences for a number of different reasons: Growing skillsets, networking with prominent though-leaders and experiencing new ways of conducting business. All of these are summed up by one thought, improvement. Recently, members of eStudent Services attended the annual ACTLA conference and the takeaways were more than anticipated. Take a look at Mitch Wilson's recent blog post on the conference and the benefits with which the eStudent Services team came away.
