We anticipate
accepting Faculty Learning Community (FLC) grant applications for the 2013-14
academic year beginning
in mid-September 2013.
To qualify to
submit a proposal you must complete the free, online FLC workshop being
offered through Canvas May 14-23, facilitated by Ruth Duffy, Ann Garnsey-Harter, and Judy Penn from Shoreline Community College. To register email Jackie Clark (jeclark@sbctc.edu) by May 8.
Additional details about the FLC grant proposals will be posted to
the Faculty
Learning Communities web page, including the questions and format for
the proposal submission.
Grants will be
funded in two categories: eLearning and Assessment,
Teaching and Learning. The same application form and process will be used for both
categories.
Category 1:
Assessment, Teaching and Learning FLC Grants
Faculty
Learning Communities in this category may address a wide range of topics. Here
are some examples:
· Assessment – placement, formative, summative; prior learning
assessment; assignments as assessments; assessing program effectiveness;
· Scholarship of teaching and learning – redesigning courses;
studying and applying new strategies; strategies for cross-college
collaboration (student services, librarians, counseling, registration, faculty,
and so forth)
· Precollege Education – integrating college-level coursework with
precollege work; teaching multi-level courses; accelerated “bucket” models
Category 2:
eLearning FLC Grants
Faculty
Learning Communities in this category must focus on one of the
following topics:
· Adoption of Canvas learning management system for online, hybrid
or web-enhanced classrooms
· Adoption of open materials (textbooks, teaching resources, Open
Course Library materials, etc.) that save students money while retaining high
quality
Also, a campus or departmental focus is an acceptable option in either
category, i.e., developing a critical mass of colleagues within a department or
program around a common innovation of some kind.
