Course Redesign Technology Grants: Eligibility and Criteria

All WPI full-time faculty members are eligible to apply for a Course Redesign Technology Grant. Teams of faculty who want to collaborate on a joint project are also encouraged to apply. Part-time adjunct faculty are welcome to apply to the program with a full-time faculty member.

To be awarded a grant, faculty must submit an application outlining specific challenges they are facing in a course they are scheduled to teach within the next two years. The application also requires faculty to submit a budget, ideas for evaluating their course redesign project, and ideas for sharing their experience with others at WPI and beyond.

Proposals will be evaluated by members of the EDC and the ATC on the following criteria:

Significance of the teaching challenge and the potential impact on student learning by redesigning the course and incorporating technology.

Initial ideas for evaluating the impact of the course redesign.

Plans for sharing the course redesign experience with others (i.e. making a presentation at a Food for Thought session or department meeting).

Project's overall feasibility, likelihood of success, and alignment with the stated goals of the program.
