Targeted, semester-long partnerships with DELTA
Apply for a DELTA Express Grant
Submissions are open until November 1 at 5 p.m.
DELTA Express Grants assist faculty in solving specific pedagogical challenges in an existing course, usually involving targeted DELTA support over the course of a semester. Projects such as:
- Incorporating instructional technologies into an existing course to increase engagement between faculty/students, students/students, and ultimately allowing students to better engage with and understand the course content
- Using targeted support and established guidelines to assist an existing course in meeting national quality standards.
- Guiding faculty in accessibility practices that lower barriers for student success and engagement.
- Assisting faculty with using digital media to solve pedagogical challenges.
Proposals are accepted twice a year at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
With a DELTA Express Grant, you get:
- Your own DELTA team to collaborate and assist you in finding solutions for a specific instructional challenge.
- Our expertise and guidance, beyond a typical consultation, so you can learn new instructional strategies or course design principles to apply to a course.
- A $2000 award to use for personnel, conferences, equipment, etc.
I’m working with a lot of unfamiliar tech tools, and it could have been a really daunting or overwhelming task, but the team’s been great, and I think those supportive relationships are one of the benefits of DELTA grants
