Teaching Innovations Proposal

This grant provides support for curriculum development or course modification which demonstrates the prospect for innovation and integration in course design or delivery.  These awards to individual faculty or departmental or interdepartmental faculty teams may provide released time, summer support, or other assistance to faculty who want to develop instructional innovation. Cross-disciplinary projects, interdepartmental faculty efforts, and integration of teaching and research are encouraged.

The purpose of attendance must be for professional development to enhance teaching which is clearly connected to the applicant's teaching assignments. These funds are to be used only to enhance other funds normally available to the individual. These grants have year round open enrollment as long as funds are available.

Bradley University is fortunate to be among the universities with Internet 2 (I2) connectivity. Having this capability means that we are able to transmit and receive much more data in a shorter time than is possible through regular Internet connections. For researchers this means that data sharing of very large amounts of information is possible between sites. For teachers, I2 expands greatly the size of our classrooms. To support Bradley faculty willing to explore new teaching possibilities or scholarship projects, OTEFD is funding proposals where faculty will pilot methods of integrating the use of I2 into new or existing courses or into their research or creative productions. <more
