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: Monday, September 23, 2002 at 8:00 AM If you have any questions regarding this grant opportunity, please contact Jerry Riehl at (865) 974-9309, email: riehlj@chekov.it.utk.edu, Kathy Bennett at (865) 974-5735, email: kbennett@utk.edu, or Jean Derco at (865) 974-9551, email: 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 be maintained for a period of three years. (Faculty participants will receive an account on an ITC server to host their module(s).) 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. ITC will purchase all computing equipment for the department. Funds to hire students will be transferred to departmental accounts. $7,500 of the award may be used after October 4. The remaining funds will be available after the ITC review of each faculty member's first module. The ITC review will occur face-to-face when the module's interface design is completed and at least one part of a module has been developed. The ITC review is to provide feedback about the look and feel of the module. 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 workshops regarding instructional module development. These workshops will be conducted on October 11 from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon or 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm (pick one session) AND October 25 from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon or 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm (pick one session). Recipients will also meet in small groups to share their ideas and strategies throughout the development process at mutually agreed-upon times. Recipients will also need to demonstrate and discuss their completed module at a public University forum, such as the Educational Technology Colloquy or an ITC-sponsored Instructional Technology @UT session. Each module will also need to be peer reviewed by at least one individual and a final report will need to be submitted that describes the lessons learned and includes student feedback for each module.
