The CTW Consortium, which is comprised of Connecticut College, Trinity College, and Wesleyan University received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The Project began in the summer of 1995 and will end in July 2000. The goals of the project include:

• Strengthening and extending the teaching and learning of foreign languages
• Applying new technologies to the instruction of languages
• Serving as a model for the application of these new teaching technologies for other humanities disciplines on the three campuses
• Setting the stage for additional joint undertakings within the Consortium

To these ends:

• A Project Director and three Technical Specialists were hired by the CTW Consortium to advise faculty in the use of technology;
• Workshops and other activities are arranged to increase the technological expertise of faculty members and assist them in applying that expertise in their courses;
• Mellon grant money is provided for funding the development of projects which integrate new technologies into their teaching;
• Faculty Development Sites are being established on each campus to give faculty access to the resources needed to explore the potential of the new technologies;
• Electronic Language Classrooms are being created on each campus which will furnish facutlty with the means to integrate the new technology into the curriculum.
