February 1999Grants, Etc.Instructional Media Development GrantsMedia Production is pleased to announce a competition for 1999—2000 Instructional Media Development Grants. IMD Grants underwrite production of classroom video or audio programs designed to support undergraduate and graduate instruction on the Bloomington campus. Media Production encourages projects that fill a particular instructional need or that solve a pedagogical problem for a faculty member, a department, or a school. Though IMD Grants provide no salary, Media Production contributes all labor and materials—except in the case of extraordinary travel or materials costs. A minimum of four projects will be supported during the 1999—2000 academic year. The deadline for proposals is March 1, 1999. Faculty members who receive grants will collaborate with ISS in developing, scripting, and producing video and audio programs. The award-winning staff provides expert advice and assistance in the production of high-quality video and film as well as analog and digital audio recordings. While Media Production cannot independently produce interactive videodisc applications or multimedia projects, the staff can produce footage to be used in such projects, and will collaborate with other ISS units and with University Information Technology Services in producing digital presentations. Any travel expenses must be borne by the faculty member or his or her department. Copyright clearance for third-party media must be obtained by the participating faculty member prior to submitting a proposal application. All media produced in the course of IMD Grant projects, as well as all productions containing this media, are, unless other arrangements are made through Media Production, the property of Indiana University. Distribution and percentages of royalties for marketed programs should be determined during the application process. Grants will be awarded by May 3, 1999, on the recommendation of faculty referees and the Office of the Dean of the Faculties. All projects start after July 1, 1999, and have a tentative completion date of August 31, 2000. IMD grant proposal forms and guidelines are available through Media Production, Franklin Hall M114, 855-1983. Interested faculty should arrange an initial consultation session with Ralph Zuzolo, proposal coordinator for Media Production, 855-1983, rzuzolo@indiana.edu. See related stories “Earth Science Video” and “Abraham’s Children”, and Media Production's IMD Grant page for examples of what faculty members have done with Instructional Media Development Grants. Active Learning Grants for Summer 1999Six to twelve instructional development grants of $1500 each are available for the summer of 1999. Offered in conjunction with the Office of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculties, each grant will be awarded for the revision of an undergraduate course or the creation of a new course to more actively engage students in learning. Bloomington campus tenured and tenure-track faculty are eligible for these awards. The deadline for proposals is March 1, 1999. Examples of active learning methods include, but are not limited to, collaborative learning, problem-based learning, case methods, course projects, simulations, and technology uses. Grants are intended to encourage greater student engagement with critical thinking and “higher levels” of learning—analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of information—in contrast to absorption. Grant award winners will be expected to devote two weeks or more of full-time effort to their projects in the summer of 1999 for a course to be taught fall semester, 1999, or spring semester, 2000; participate in one or two group planning/working sessions in the summer of 1999; and deliver a written report or oral presentation—for interested faculty and staff—outlining the implementation and evaluation of the project within a calendar year of the fellowship period. For more information about Active Learning Grants or for an application, please visit http://www.indiana.edu/~ict/ or contact David Goodrum, Director, Instructional Consulting and Technology, Franklin Hall 004, 855-9023, goodrum. Graphic Services GrantsGrants are available from Graphic Services to support the cost of instructional projects requiring $500 or more in resources for the design and production of visual materials. These projects may be large (for example, 200 color overhead transparencies), or complex (an historical map of the Middle East, in color, involving library research and a combining of several base maps). If you anticipate needing graphics support for your teaching and believe that your project may involve considerable time and/or materials, please contact Graphic Services Manager Susie Hull, Franklin Hall M114, 855-4047, sehull. Service-Learning Course Development GrantsWith support from a Universities as Citizen grant from Indiana Campus Compact and the IUB Dean of Faculties office, the Office of Community Partnerships in Service-Learning offers four grants for full or part-time faculty and experienced graduate student instructors interested in teaching a new or revised service-learning course. The deadline for proposals is April 12, 1999. These curriculum development grants will support revision of a course to be offered during either the fall or spring semester of the 1999—2000 school year. Funds must be used to revise an existing course by developing and incorporating a service-learning component, or to improve an existing service-learning component through intensive work with one partner agency. The grant allocates $2000 to be split between the faculty member and the partner community-based organization(s) or school. The faculty member and a community representative should together develop the service aspect of the course—not only the work to be done with the community-based organization but also any related readings and reflection activities—and evaluate the course. The staff of the Office of Community Partnerships in Service-Learning will provide assistance as needed, and former grant recipients will be available for consultation as well. For more information, contact JoAnn Campbell, Director of the Office of Community Partnerships in Service-Learning, 856-6011, jocampbe, or visit: http://www.indiana.edu/~iss/slgrant.html.
