Instructional technology grants available

A new grant called Web Works is available to UW–Madison faculty and instructional staff who wish to incorporate instructional technology more fully into their curriculum.

Sponsored by the Learning Technology and Distance Education group within the Division of Information Technology, the $1,000 grants are intended for faculty and instructional staff to expand or improve instructional use of the Web. WebCT, a web-based learning system that facilitates the creation of web-based educational environments, was piloted on the UW campus last year.

Grant recipients will be offered customized WebCT training classes, as well as the option of hiring an assistant from a pool of 15 students training in instructional technology support. Any UW–Madison faculty or instructional staff member teaching courses is eligible to apply.
