Instructional Technology Fellows Archive
The Faculty Instructional Technology Fellows program helps instructors use technology to improve teaching and learning. In the current program, faculty apply as a group to integrate technology into a curriculum or set of courses; the applicant team may also include graduate students from the school or department. Fellows attend a series of workshops and discussions targeted towards the group's needs as a kickoff to a semester or year-long course project. For their instructional technology projects, the CIT currently provides Fellows with a $500 stipend ($250 for graduate students), consulting and student worker assistance. Past CIT Fellows programs have also included an Individual Fellows track that included applicants from different departments, with each faculty member working on their own instructional technology project.
