Teaching + Technology Fellowship Grant

The Teaching Technology Group has created the Teaching + Technology Initiative (TTI) to encourage development of exciting, innovative uses of technology for teaching. The TTI Fellows Program supports at least four instructional fellowships for well-defined projects that make innovative, effective use of technology for teaching, and that show promise for spreading these advances to other faculty members.

The program is open to faculty members in any School or academic department with proposals to develop undergraduate teaching. Individuals from the professional schools who secure funding from their school to develop graduate courses are also welcome to apply to TTI so that those faculty and projects can benefit from the interdisciplinary interaction of the program.

Please see the Request for Proposals 2005-2006 (pdf). Proposals for next academic year are due by February 11, 2005.

Description of Fellowships
Fellows will be provided with the hardware and software as well as the released time (e.g. summer stipend and/or course relief) necessary to complete their projects. Guidance from an Instructional Technology Advisor is also provided. The expected duration of the fellowship will be 12 months. Project budgets should not exceed $20,000.

Application Process
The guidelines are available on the Internet at http://nmc.itc.virginia.edu/TTI. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the TTI Instructional Technology Advisors as they develop their proposals. The guidelines are also available from Deans, Chairs, and the Teaching Resource Center .
