We are formalizing the process by which learning technology is considered for adoption into the UBC Learning Technology Ecosystem (LTE). As of October 28, 2024, you can request technology for the UBC LTE directly through our LT Hub website.
Technology approved for adoption may be eligible for assistance in one or more areas: integrating with UBC data, getting central support from the LT Hub, and/or receiving central funding.
How the process works
The process has three potential phases for each technology request:
- Phase 1 – Research: The LT Hub researches the technology’s use in theory by assessing its potential suitability for teaching and learning at UBC.
- Phase 2 – Pilot: The LT Hub evaluates the technology’s use in practice by piloting it in UBC courses for at least one term.
- Phase 3 – Decision: Based on the LT Hub findings, the Learning Technology Advisory Group (LTAG) recommends and LT Hub Leadership decides if—and how—the technology will be included in the UBC LTE.
How you can participate
You can submit a learning technology request or see outcomes of learning technology decisions at any point during the year. Requests can be made from UBCV or UBCO, and opportunities to participate in technology pilots for both campuses will also be posted in LT Hub news.
Technology requests are reviewed by the LT Hub in the research phase as they are submitted; however, determining with LTAG and LT Hub Leadership which requests may move forward only happens three times a year.
Requests take time to review. To ensure your request can be considered for the next academic year, please submit it before May 31, 2025.
Feel free to contact us at the LT Hub with any questions.
