"What does the ILC mean to me? The ILC is a catalyst for teaching innovations. Every time I participate in an ILC workshop -- no matter what the topic -- I'm always inspired to try something new in my courses, such as designing web authoring activities for students to learn how to present their research findings to a global audience.
