Description: "New Technologies, New Pedagogies: Learning Spaces in the 21st Century" is a faculty grant program at IUB sponsored by University Information Technology Services and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. The program will fund proposals that promise to combine pedagogy, information technology, and physical and virtual space to enhance teaching and learning. It offers funding to support course or curriculum redesign that includes rethinking how courses are taught, how technology can enhance the teaching and learning processes, and how classroom and learning space designs can support new teaching practices.
Outcome: Grants will be awarded in mid-February 2010 and recipients will have the opportunity to design their innovative learning spaces and teach their "transformed" courses in these spaces during (and beyond) the fall 2010 semester.
Milestones and Status:
- Information sessions for interested faculty, schools, and departments were held on October 12 and 13, 2009.
- Final grant proposals are due by 5 p.m. on January 26, 2010.
- Grants will be awarded in mid-February 2010.

Benefits: Successful projects will enhance the teaching and learning environment at Indiana University and will result in findings that will be disseminated within IU and to the larger academic community.
Client Impact: This grant program will provide faculty with funds to support course buyouts, summer stipends, graduate student support or related expenses to give them time and support to accomplish their course/curriculum redesign. It will also fund learning technologies to enhance and transform classroom spaces. Courses that are redesigned as a result of these grants will engage students more fully and should foster deeper student learning.
Project Team: Teaching and Learning Technologies Centers (TLTC) and Classroom Technology Services (CTS), Campus Instructional Consulting (CIC) and, where relevant, the Campus Writing Program (CWP) and the Office of Service Learning (OSL).
