Call for Proposals
Summary Award: Five Knoxville campus departments will receive $15,000 each, which can be used to purchase computing equipment and/or hire students for development tasks. Deliverable: At least five web-based instructional modules to be developed by two-five faculty members from one department. Proposal Deadline: Wednesday, February 6, 2002 If you have any questions regarding this grant opportunity, please contact Dr. Jean Derco at 865-974-9551 or jderco@utk.edu. Overview The Innovative Technology Center (ITC) invites applications from Knoxville campus departments interested in exploring new directions in teaching and learning. We encourage departments to apply that have two to five faculty members who are interested in creating a total of at least five modular pieces of instruction that will be delivered on the Web. These modules must be structured so that a student can progress through the instruction in a self-directed manner. For this grant, a module is defined as a self-contained unit of instruction that addresses one learning objective. A module should contain instruction about the difference between what students already know and what they need to know to satisfy the objective of the module. Therefore, a module states its purpose and contains an introduction, the instructional content necessary to achieve the objective and at least one self-assessment or practice activity. Please note, a module is NOT a collection of web links or supplemental information about a topic...it needs to provide instruction and practice. The proposed module's content must be general enough for it to be used in other courses. The module can be used as an initial exposure to the content, as a homework assignment, or as review material. The modules can:
Preference will be given to departments whose module ideas focus on the undergraduate curriculum and/or develop a series of modules that sequentially build upon each other. Eligibility Full-time faculty at the Knoxville campus with instructor rank or above are eligible to participate by representing their department. Experts, novices, and non-users of technology are all encouraged to participate. Previous ITC technology grant recipients are eligible to apply. The faculty participants will own the intellectual property and copyright of his or her module and are free to use the content and replicate it as he or she sees fit. However, the modules that are developed must remain on a secure ITC server for a period of three years. (Faculty participants will receive an account on this server.) Faculty participants are responsible for acquiring permission for use of copyrighted materials and resources that are incorporated into the modules. Terms of Award Selected departments will receive $15,000 that can be used to purchase computing equipment to support module development and delivery and/or hire students for development tasks. A budget that details how the department intends to use this funding must be submitted as part of the application process. Faculty members representing selected departments will receive training and one-on-one consultation from ITC staff. Faculty participants will be required to attend two 2-hour workshops to receive an overview of instructional module planning and development. These workshops will be conducted on March 6 from 1:00-3:00 pm and March 7 from 9:00-11:00 am. Participants will also receive priority registration in ITC courses. Collaborative groups will be formed to share ideas and strategies throughout the development process. These groups will meet with ITC staff a minimum of four times between April and August 2002 (meeting times will be determined by each group). The group meetings are intended to help with planning and organizing the content for and creation of the module. Each module will also need to be peer reviewed by at least one individual (and a summary of that review submitted to the ITC), and a final report will need to be submitted that describes the development process for each and includes student feedback for each module.
