EDUCOM's Educational Uses of Information Technology (EUIT) Program
EUITNEWS          Volume 2, No. 1             January 6, 1993

The EDUCOM Software and Curriculum Innovation Awards Program is
accepting entries for the 1993 competition.  The deadline for submissions
is February 26.  To request that an entry form be sent to you, send
e-mail to awards@cristal.umd.edu, or call 301/405-7534.

There are two categories in which submissions can be made:  the Product
Division, for original software designed to enhance student learning, and
the Curriculum Innovation Division, which focuses on the use of
technology by rewarding excellence in teaching with computers.  There is
no requirement that original software be developed by the submitter to
enter an application in the Curriculum Innovation category, just that the
computer be applied in ways that meet an important instructional need.
The innovation might be the creative classroom use of existing
commercial software packages; it might be the adaptation of existing
packages for educational use; or it might be built around new software
designed by the applicant.

Entries will be reviewed in the following disciplines, all of which are at
the undergraduate level except Law:

* Natural Sciences, which can include Astronomy, Atmospheric Science,
Biology, Botany, Ecology, Forestry, Genetics, Zoology, Chemistry, Geology,
or Physics;

* Humanities, including Area Studies, Communications, English
(Literature or Composition), Journalism, Foreign Languages, or
Philosophy;

* Engineering, including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer Science,
Electrical, Mechanical, or Nuclear;

* Mathematics, which can include Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Statistics,
or other;

* Social Sciences, including Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics,
Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Statistics or
Research Methods; and

* Law (Graduate level), which can include any area of specialization.

REPEAT WELCOME:  Welcome to EUITNEWS, a listserv for EUIT
participants and an experiment in providing short, frequent updates
directly to you (by e-mail or fax).  EUIT staff will receive your message
if you send e-mail to EUITEDIT@BITNIC.EDUCOM.EDU (Internet) or
EUITEDIT@BITNIC (BITNET).  Let us know if you missed previous
messages and want copies.  Let us know if you have colleagues who also
want to receive EUITNEWS.  Please allow us two weeks for updating our
lists.
