Targeted, semester-long partnerships with DELTA
Sign up to receive reminders and news about DELTA Grants and Express Grants
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
