What is Transliteracy?
As budgets continue to shrink and the number of online or blended classes continues to grow, the need for instructors who are comfortable with the wide array of digital learning tools becomes of paramount importance.
From the writings of Donald E. Hanna and associates, we are reminded that “the challenge is not simply to incorporate learning technologies into current institutional approaches, but rather to change our fundamental views about effective teaching and learning and to use technology to do so.”(footnote: 1)
Keeping this in mind, the 3T’s conference aims to explore issues surrounding the intersections between teaching, instructional technologies and the growing number of literacies all students need for learning and succeeding in today’s information-rich academic and professional worlds.

As one of the primary goals of the 3Ts planning committee, we are offering a discounted “buddy” registration fee to encourage cross-disciplinary discussion among our participants.
What constitutes a “buddy?” Buddies are created by a pair of attendees (registering at the same time), who are complementary and/or collaborating professionals (i.e., teaching faculty and a librarian, a librarian and an instructional designer, two teaching faculty from different disciplines).
SUNY registration fee = $20
SUNY Buddy registration fee = $15
Non-SUNY registration fee = $30
Non-SUNY Buddy registration fee = $25
The conference is co-sponsored by the SUNY Librarians Association Working Group for Information Literacy (SUNYLA WGIL), the SUNY Center for Professional Development and the SUNY Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching & Technology (FACT2).
