As I walked into our partnership, Dan* opened up the internet and his email to see our lesson plan that I had attached and sent him, as we start most meetings. As he was doing this, I decided to make my move. Dan often writes to his sister and I have noticed that his typing could use improvement.
"Why don't you put your thumbs on the space bar, so we can practice using all the keys and type in a more cohesive way," I suggested.
"My hands are too big, it won't work."

The Teaching and Learning Initiative (TLI) programs frequently blur the boundaries between teacher and learner, and allow for people in different positions on campus to work together in a collaborative educational environment. These programs allow participants to foster new relationships across different spheres of campus life, and they allow for a change in the tone, content, and context of interactions between these constituencies.
