Two leaders central to the teaching mission of 抖阴短视频 Boulder say resources are available to support faculty who want to submit proposals to the which encourages innovation in teaching via multi-campus partnerships.听

抖阴短视频 Boulder鈥檚 Dean and Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education Daryl Maeda and Kirk Ambrose, founding director of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), are encouraging faculty to apply with other 抖阴短视频 campus partners for grants that range from $100,000 to $300,000 to, in Ambrose鈥檚 words, 鈥渆ncourage folks to dream big on this and take their pedagogy to the next level.鈥�

This 抖阴短视频 Next Award is sponsored by the 抖阴短视频 system Office of Academic Affairs and seeks to promote cross-team collaboration among all four 抖阴短视频 campuses by providing additional resources to individual faculty and small groups who want to reduce barriers to hardware, software, programming, vendor contracts and other resources that department funding cannot cover.听

requires faculty from at least two campuses to collaborate beneath the umbrella of a campus commitment and to 鈥渙pen us up to opportunities we haven鈥檛 been able to explore in the past,鈥� said Maeda. 鈥淔aculty can think broadly about technology, like virtual reality. They can use platforms to do things like adaptive learning that are intensive or expensive to adopt and evaluate.鈥�

Maeda said the unique nature of the grant creates a testing ground for new ideas 听because it 鈥渄emands the technology be adopted, used in a class, assessed and evaluated, then improved for another go around.鈥澨�

Each grant, he said, will fund the use and evaluation of technology in three teachings of the same class, 鈥渨hich gives us a chance to learn as we go and innovate and improve our teaching in demonstrable ways.鈥澨�

Maeda said the campus will make institutional commitments that could be financial or resource driven, such as 鈥渁 department, school or college saying we鈥檒l assign you to teach the class being innovated three times in a row, or we鈥檒l approve a buyout from another course as you develop this one.鈥澨�

Ambrose said 抖阴短视频 Boulder is excited about the possibilities of the grants 鈥渇or all disciplines鈥攚e are not predisposed toward STEM disciplines. We are excited to welcome people new to using technology and to partnering, and no one should feel intimidated if they have a nascent idea.鈥澨�

CTL, along with offices such as the Office of Information Technology and the Office of Data Analytics, will support 抖阴短视频 Boulder鈥檚 proposal development process, working together as 鈥渁 kind of incubator,鈥� according to Ambrose. To spark interest and engagement, CTL is sponsoring a . This virtual event will bring together people from across the campus to spark ideas, share strategies and build collaborative efforts.听

Moving ahead, Maeda will be the interface with the 抖阴短视频 system in the proposal process, and will partner with Ambrose and other experts to develop a rubric to evaluate 抖阴短视频 Boulder-generated proposals.听

Maeda said the proposals, which are due on April 4, 鈥渨ill be screened by a Boulder campus committee and then advance to a system selection process.鈥澨�

Besides the chance to apply new resources toward teaching, Ambrose said the grants support the development of new ideas鈥攆ostering multi-campus teaching partnerships that do for teaching what institutional research partnerships have historically done for research.听

鈥淭eaching is often cast on our campus as isolated and individualized鈥攊t鈥檚 just you alone with your class,鈥� Ambrose said. 鈥淭his is a great chance to move from this isolated teaching mode to work collaboratively across the system鈥攆ully embracing experimentation and innovation.鈥澨�
