Instructional Technology Assistance
The Teaching and Learning Center and ITS Instructional Services work closely together to provide a range of services to faculty to foster the sound integration of technology in teaching. Among other services, Instructional Services offers:
* Consultation with faculty to make the best use of course management systems Sakai (http://sakai.claremont.edu) or Moodle (http://moodle.pomona.edu/).
* Workshops on using technology to meet your teaching goals.
* Videotaping services for individual faculty for the purpose of assessing their teaching. Requests will be honored as resources permit.
* Assistance to faculty in learning new technologies and developing skills with an existing technology.
* Developing curricular projects such as digital video production, large scale image digitization projects, specialized web sites describing faculty-student research and custom web based applications for teaching
* Resources and news on instructional technologies in use at Pomona.

Curricular Development Grants
A number of grants, usually ranging from $500 to $2,000, are awarded by the Teaching & Learning Committee for the development of new or substantially revised courses. These grants are meant to reimburse faculty for items such as books, videos, and software (up to $500), student assistants (up to $1000), field trips (up to $1000), travel (up to $750), and conference or workshop registration fees related to preparation of a course. Preference will be given to faculty who have not received Wig funds for course development in the preceding two years.
The deadline for applications is April 9, 2010. Applications should include a course description and a detailed, itemized budget. The applicant should also indicate if she or he has received a Wig grant in the past two years and, if so, the amount and the curricular results. Submit proposals to Kristin Fossum, Assistant Dean of the College. The Teaching & Learning Committee will review the proposals and make funding recommendations by the end of April. Awards will become effective July 1, 2010, and must be spent by June 30, 2011.
Teaching Innovation Grants
Small grants (up to $500) are available throughout the year to enhance the teaching of a particular course. This fund is meant to cover curricular needs that are unexpected and that therefore cannot be met within a departmental budget or through application for a Curriculum Development Grant. Items that have been funded in the past include books, honoraria/meals/lodging for speakers, videos, computer software, and student assistants.
Requests are to be made in writing, with a complete budget, including other sources of funding if any, and a short description of the relevance of the items to a particular course. Submit requests to Kristin Fossum, Assistant Dean of the College.
