Allocated to the College of Letters and Science to provide desktop computers for faculty.  Each dollar was matched with one dollar of funds from an academic department and six dollars of funds from the Vice Chancellor's office.

$65,000 will provide development grants to 12 faculty to work on projects or research to incorporate technology in their instruction.  Grant recipients are supported with salary or release time.  The funds also provide each faculty with a small budget for supplies and services required for their projects.  Last year, Curricular Redesign funds provided support for 10 faculty in this program.

Note:  The new Instructional Technology/Multimedia Center opened this past year, supported in large measure by funding from last year's Curricular Redesign funds.  The IT/MM Center provides training and support for faculty in the use of technology and multimedia resources.  Faculty recipients of the technology development grants tend to use the new IT/MM Center extensively in completing projects to incorporate technology in their instruction.  Information Technology provides a substantial amount of additional support for the IT/MM, however, we are reporting here only the planned expenditures from our $30,110 Curricular Redesign allocation for FY00.
