- Technology Assistance Grant Workshop
1:30-4:30, PRESENT
Prerequisite: Must be an ITUE fellow.
Do you have an idea for how technology might add value to your course?
Are you looking for a way to leverage your idea into an application
with extra technical assistance? If so, this session is for you. ITUE
fellows are eligible to apply for student technology assistance to
address specific teaching and learning issues in their courses. Successful
applicants will receive staff and student technology assistance as
part of their fellowship. The student assistant will be available
to work up to 10 hours a week during the spring semester. The goal
of these grants is to apply technology to one or two aspects of a
course not to redesign an entire course. Come to this session with
your ideas and leave with a completed online grant proposal!
