In addition to the faculty members, the project team usually consists of an instructional designer, an instructional programmer, and related support people such as graphic artists, content researchers, and student programmers. Additionally, team members may include representatives of other groups within the CAC or University depending on project needs. Resources for other categories of projects also depend on the project requirements. Most projects will include an instructional designer experienced in technological applications of instructional theory and principles and an instructional programmer experienced in implementing and integrating the technological capabilities. Some projects may be led by a graduate student in instructional design.
Limited funds are available for student wages and purchase of hardware, software, and peripherals.
The hours of the ETS professional staff are not added to the cash awards. The amount of professional staff support depends on the individual projects specified. Faculty, departments, campuses, or colleges may have examined the goals and objectives of a course or curriculum and may have determined that technology could be used to improve student learning or access. This program is designed to support these change efforts. In addition, this program is also desgined to support proposals which enhance general education courses, for instance, freshmen seminars.
