What makes this grant unique? |
|
Selected faculty partners will not only receive funds for their project, but also collaborative support from specialists in instructional design, educational technology, and multimedia development. By integrating design and production expertise into the development process, DEL Partnership Grants reduce the individual workload typically associated with digital innovation. This support includes:
-
Guidance on digital platforms, pedagogical approaches, and emerging technologies
-
Instructional design consultation and curriculum integration support
-
Multimedia and interactive content development
-
Regular collaborative development meetings
-
Support for implementation and evaluation during course delivery

Learning objects as described in Stream A, but developed across the span of a full course
