The College is seeking proposals for enhancing on campus courses by creating online modules or tutorials to assist students with learning difficult material. Proposals should be specific regarding how the tutorials will improve student learning. The deadline to submit proposals is March 15; the project needs to be completed by May 15th. Faculty who develop these modules will be required to work with an instructional designer at Distance and Online Education.
Initial Steps
- Discuss with your DEO to ensure your proposal meets departmental curricular needs and objectives.
Criteria for evaluating proposals
Proposals for adding modules to assist students with difficult material are likely to be funded if they are for courses with these criteria:
- gateway courses that have a high DFW rates
- courses that currently are lecture format but lend themselves to small group, interactive learning
Proposals will include a description of the planned module(s) and an explanation of how the course fits into the curriculum.
