The recent generous gift from William G. Jackson gives the Center for Teaching and Learning the ability to solicit proposals for blended learning project grants. Academic departments or teams of instructors are invited to propose projects that support course/program reform or expansion and use blended and online learning techniques. Grants will be awarded at the following levels:
$1000 grants: individual conference travel to learn blended/online techniques and share with our instructors OR a small scale course development or outreach project
$5000 grants: development of a moderate course/program or portion of a large course in a blended/online format (predicted impact >60 students per term)
$10,000 grants: development of a large course or program in a blended/online format (predicted impact >200 students/term)
Selected projects can also request/expect substantial support from the eLearning staff and students, both in terms of design consultation and course implementation. Total award amounts are expected to be $50,000 each year for two years (2013-14, 2014-15). For additional information, refer toBlended Learning Grant Program
