The Digital Learning and Design group in The McGraw Center invites proposals from faculty, or a faculty member in partnership with a graduate student, to develop digital pedagogy projects. Through this initiative, we seek to encourage faculty to explore creative uses of digital technology that promote active learning and support course learning goals. The McGraw Center will work closely with the awardees to help conceptualize, create, manage, and implement projects. Our support includes instructional design, selection of appropriate technologies or existing tools, web development, custom programming, video or audio recording and editing, and digitization. We can also provide training for teaching teams and students to ensure the successful completion of the project.Upon completion of the project, the McGraw Center will award applicants a one-time honorarium of up to $1,800 for each project participant, depending on project scope. Graduate student collaborators do not need to co-teach the course for which the project is proposed. We will ask awardees to share a retrospective assessment of the project with the McGraw Center. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 20th, 2025. Projects should be related to courses offered during Spring or Fall semesters following the deadline. Please use the following form to submit your proposal. Please note that many digital pedagogy projects can be supported outside of the grant process.
