ITS, in partnership with the IT and Libraries Committee and CITLS, offers Teaching with Technology grants up to $5,000 to encourage exploring innovative pedagogical strategies augmented with technology to improve teaching. Recent changes to the grant affect eligibility and the review process, with goals of making the award available to a wider audience as well as creating a more responsive and straightforward application and approval process.
First, up until this point, only full-time faculty were eligible for a grant. Now, anyone who teaches or regularly supports classroom instruction is eligible, including library staff, adjuncts, instructors, etc.
Second, whereas previously applications were considered once per year in the spring, now they are accepted and awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year. Proposals of less than $500 will be reviewed internally within ITS, and anything greater will be reviewed by the full ITaL committee during their monthly meetings.
