DELTA to Release 2010-2011 IDEA Grant RFP

On April 27, DELTA will release the Request for Proposal (RFP) for this year’s cycle of IDEA Grants (2010-2011). DELTA’s Innovation in Distributed Education Applications (IDEA) Grants are a competitive awards program that promotes innovation in the use of instructional technology in online distance teaching and learning, builds expertise in this area, and enhances the technology-rich learning environment at North Carolina State University. DELTA provides assistance in the form of personnel hours and funds  to faculty and staff.

Grants are available in three categories; course grants, exploratory grants, and research grants. Course grants focus on developing instructional materials for existing distance education courses as well as developing new DE courses. Exploratory grants support the exploration of three targeted emerging technologies and their application to teaching and learning. Research grants provide support for assessing the effectiveness of an existing or proposed distance education technology or teaching practice. Detailed program information is available online at https://delta.ncsu.edu/ideagrants.  Consultation requests and any questions can be sent to ideagrants@lists.ncsu.edu.
