If a faculty member can demonstrate the value of learning and using some other aspect of technology, it should be allowed. Awards will be determined jointly by the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education and the Associate Dean for Information Technology. The awards will be available for the two academic years beginning in the Fall of 2000, not to exceed 150 in total. Funding will be drawn from the accrued interest on the Mellon grant. The technology component of the assignment should be transparent to the student.
Faculty can receive awards for at most two assignments per course, and four awards overall.
Faculty in team-taught courses must split the award for a jointly developed activity. No funds are available in this program for software, hardware, or other supplies.
