Program applications
The Office of Instructional Support and Development is accepting applications for the Instructional Technology Leadership Program.
Funded by the University System of Georgia Connecting Teachers and Technology initiative, the program provides equipment funds, technical support, and instructional-design assistance to faculty members who are relatively inexperienced in instructional technologies but who are interested in using such technology in their courses.
The program is limited to eight participants each year. Each participant will receive a $2,500 equipment grant and participate in a one-week Maymester workshop held jointly with the Governor’s Teaching Fellows Program. ITLP participants will meet as a group regularly during the 2000-2001 academic year, and they will have the support of a team of technology and instructional-design specialists in developing a significant application of IT.
It is hoped that ITLP participants will become catalysts for change in their departments; one goal of the group meetings is to give participants the chance to become familiar with the university’s best practices in IT.
Faculty members interested in participating should contact Margaret Anderson (542-1355; manderso@uga.edu) or Jay Harriman (542-1582; harriman@uga.edu). More information about the program is available on the Web (www.isd.uga.edu/itlp/itlp.htm).
Research symposium
The Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities in the Honors Program provides a forum for undergraduates to present original research.
With a faculty sponsor, all undergraduate students--from all disciplines, and not just students who are in the Honors Program--are eligible to submit an abstract for consideration for presentation. Presentations may be in the form of a paper, an oral presentation, a poster session, an exhibition, a performance or an art work. Presentations will be scheduled for 30-minute sessions.
Students who wish to present their work should submit an application, an abstract of approximately 500 words (include disk) and a brief supporting letter from the sponsoring faculty member no later than Feb. 25. All proposal abstracts will receive student peer review with faculty guidance. Participants accepted into the symposium will be notified by March 17. Qualifying abstracts will be published in a book of abstracts.
Criteria for participation are originality and quality of the research project, extensive involvement of the student in developing the research design and executing the project, and assurance that the project will be completed and the results will be documented by the date of the symposium.
The symposium, which will be free and open to the public, is scheduled for April 17-19 and 24-25 in the Tate Student Center.
Application, abstract, and faculty letter should be sent to Pamela B. Kleiber, Honors Program, Academic Building. For further information, call Kleiber at 542-3240 or check the CURO Symposium link on the Honors Program Web site (www.uga.edu/honors).
Bulletin Board prints announcements from campus-based organizations whose membership includes UGA faculty and/or staff. Send notices by e-mail, campus mail (A-205 Stegeman Coliseum, Campus Mail 4371) or fax (542-8020). |
