A full report of previous accomplishments must be included in the proposal narrative. All full-time faculty are eligible for the Learning Enhancement Grant. During the academic year, the department of the grant recipient will receive the stipend in order to pay for a substitute instructor, contingent on approval of release time for the grant recipient. If a faculty team carries out the project, members of the team will share the stipend. One half of the stipend will be paid at the beginning of the semester and the second half will be awarded when the project is completed and the final report has been submitted to the CIT by the recipient.
Additional funds are available for the materials needed for project implementation.
Requirements for other funds should be detailed in the proposal budget. The Center for Instructional Technology will assist faculty members in the production process, if requested. CIT staff can provide or contribute to instructional planning, design of instructional materials, production of instructional materials, and obtaining resources for project implementation. Grants will be awarded to faculty who use the Centra Symposium or CourseInfo applications to deliver course content. Faculty members are encouraged to apply for these grants as an opportunity to learn how to use distance learning technologies to enhance traditional or web-based learning.
