**LTAC Project Group Update |
LTAC project co-Chairs will share project activities to-date and seek input to developing project charters, use cases, end-user requirements, adoption practices, and final standard document(s). The feedback provided by LTAC members is invaluable as it provides further end user input to the standards under development and helps to confirm project activities are proceeding according to higher education's needs. These sessions will be highly interactive with audience members providing significant contribution to the topics of discussion.
