Ameritech Fellows program seeking proposalsLeadership forum June 28By Christine Fitzgerald | |
| Faculty innovation in the application
of information technology for teaching and learning on all IU campuses
will continue to be fostered through the Ameritech Fellows Program,
which has issued its latest request for proposals with a due date
of Oct. 19 for the third round of funding.
IU established the program in the fall of 1999, with a gift of $1 million from Ameritech to support five years of program activity. Since then, two rounds of funding and awards averaging $15,000 have made possible 20 innovative projects on IU campuses, according to Gary Wittlich, program director and IU Distinguished Consulting Technologist. Wittlich directs the program for the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology and UITS Division for Teaching and Learning Information Technologies, in cooperation with the Office of Distributed Education. “A critical aspect of the program is building and sustaining a community of faculty innovators across the university,” said Wittlich. “The program seeks to engage IU Ameritech Fellows as faculty mentors in coordination with the teaching and learning centers on IU campuses.” The first Ameritech Fellows Leadership Forum, to be convened in Bloomington on June 28, will present an opportunity for fellows to showcase their work and discuss their progress.
