We’re all faced with limited professional development resources these days. Fortunately, there are several online learning experiences that allow us to both develop our skills and share our expertise and experience with others. The TCC Worldwide Online Conference is one of these events. (TCC = Teaching Colleges and Community)

TCC is organized by Learning Times and the Learning Design and Technology (LTEC) Department of the College of Education at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. It’s a professional conference that is run completely online! I’ve attended and presented at this conference multiple times over the years and highly recommend it to those who are active in a wide range of education, technology, and student support efforts.

“This year, the conference staff will continue to highlight best choices, model practices, and research related to trending topics in online learning, mobile learning, networking, collaboration and emerging technologies.” Topics related to career counseling, coaching, and development might include, but are certainly not limited to:

• Enabling student collaboration, creativity, and advocacy
• Distance learning programs and practices
• Social media tools and applications
• Online student services and advising
• Blogging and micro-blogging experiences
• Professional development for faculty and staff
