2009 – 2010 Development Stipends for Online Courses

The Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence (CTLE) is pleased to announce that stipends of $3,000 are available for full-time faculty interested in obtaining funding to assist with the initial development of a 3-credit online course created on the ANGEL Course Management System or to assist with the revision of a 3-credit online course currently offered on the Angel Course Management System. For courses being revised, courses must have been taught three or more years online to be eligible for the stipend.

Priority will be given to proposals that incorporate multimedia resources. Faculty must have the course online by summer 2010 or fall 2010. Faculty will receive payment after the course is online and the course syllabus has been submitted to the Dean of the Library & Information Fluency.

Proposals should not exceed 2 pages and must include the following information:

  • Intended audience for the online course;
  • Statement about why the course should be online and the benefits for it being web-based (100 words or less);
  • Course description;
  • Student learning outcomes and assessment;
  • Pedagogical approach for the use of technology in the course;
  • Plan for use of multimedia materials (e.g., audio, video, streaming materials);
  • Sample syllabus for online course that will incorporate ANGEL features (e.g., chat, discussion board);
  • Commitment to develop the course in collaboration with the CTLE Instructional Curriculum Designer and the Library Faculty Liaison to your Academic Department;
  • A specific timeline for the course development, including start and completion date;
  • Specific resources needed for the course development;
  • Letter of Support from Department Chair or Dean.

Applicants are encouraged to consult Eugeniu Grigorescu, the Associate Director of the CTLE and Instructional Curriculum Designer, prior to submitting their applications. Proposals will be reviewed by a faculty subcommittee of the CTLE Advisory Group. All applicants will be notified in December 2009. Faculty will have the spring and summer semesters to develop the online course(s). Faculty will be asked to share their experiences and their courses with their colleagues at a CTLE workshop. Please note that stipends are subject to taxes.
