Description:
The purpose of the Summer Institute is for participants to learn and apply new technologies for online course instruction. Each participant will be expected to create and complete a usable online course or project. This could be a new online course or the updating an existing course with new technology such as the integration of podcasting and/or screen capture. Each participant will be assessed before and after the Institute to measure their understanding (and use) of sound pedagogical principles, their use of instructional design criteria, and their innovative use of technology.

Each Institute is for a 3 week period, 4 hours per day, for 4 days per week. Daily meeting times will consist of class room instruction by ITTC staff with plenty of time for hands-on project work. Each participant will be expected to present their finished deliverable at the end of the Institute. Though a limited amount of paid stipends will be made available, non-funded participants will be allowed to attend under the same objectives and criteria. Class size will be kept at 12 to 15 per Institute.

The application process will be a one page scope of work to be written by each applicant that describes their objectives to be accomplished during the Institute. The application is to be submitted to their respective Dean. The Dean will select the nominees and submit the written scope of work to the Director of the ITTC.
