During the 2005/06 academic year, there will be several opportunities for campus units and faculty members to apply for educational technology funds. The funds will be used to make targeted investments in classroom technology, large-scale infrastructure initiatives, and curriculum development.
Classroom Equipment Proposals. Currently, the Educational Technology Committee has issued a call for classroom equipment proposals, and worksheets for describing individual departmental needs have been distributed to UO deans, department heads, and program directors. The UO Libraries Media Services Department has developed standard packages of classroom equipment suitable for different spaces, and you are encouraged to discuss your department's needs with Media Services staff before filling out a worksheet. If your department requires additional equipment, you may describe those needs in the worksheet.
Email or deliver completed worksheets to Terri Warpinski, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Chair of the Classroom Committee (tlw@uoregon.edu; 206 Johnson Hall). Once these requests have been evaluated and prioritized, purchasing and installation may begin spring term 2006.
Watch for Calls for Other Proposals. Calls for other Ed Tech fund proposals will be made early winter term. Visit the Ed Tech website at http://libweb.uoregon.edu/edtech/ for future announcements.
