2012
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$20,000.00
- Cloud-Based Teaching & Learning Environments
Pilot of a collaborative model for using relevant digital learning tools within teacher education coursework. This work will be done through mutual mentoring (in instructional design, technical knowledge, and navigating the complexity of multi-layered P-16 institutions), as we use, demonstrate, and then compile exemplary teaching strategies.
The project website details the resources available to assist with teacher preparation and professional development.
Big Data on a Small(er) Campus: Use of Large-Scale Text Analysis by a Comprehensive Primarily Undergraduate Institution
Brian Lowe
Oneonta
2012
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$20,000.00
Provides access to tools and methods necessary to discern and critically dissect patterns and trends within “Big Data” as it emerges through social media.

Creation, Implementation, and Assessment of Anatomy and Physiology Online Laboratory Modules
Adam Rich
Brockport
2012
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$18,700.00
- Video Production
Creation of pre-laboratory learning modules for A&P students to assess the effects of using these modules to reduce face-to-face lab duration while maintaining learning outcomes, and to identify features to facilitate faculty adoption of this technology.
73% of over Anatomy & Physiology students from two courses (n=569) accessed pilot video lab prep content. There was no significant difference in test performance from those who accessed vs. those who did not. See outcomes poster for more details.
