Online Global Learning Communities in the Humanities: A Course Model
Celia Easton
Geneseo
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$3,200.00
Demonstration project to create an international online learning community focused on a shared text through utilization of course management software, wikis, blogs, embedded video, and file sharing to support discussion-based humanities courses
Final report describes the goal of investigating how to break linear reading habits to foster enhanced material reflection through use of technology.
TeachLivE from New York: Developing Innovative Practices in Immersive Teaching Technology
Krista Vince Garland
Buffalo State College
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$10,000.00
- Augmented Reality
Support of three full day workshops within a virtual classroom to explore a mixed methods research study, and disseminate information from findings to stakeholders. Artifacts from this project will include the development of template curricula to guide other SUNY departments considering the establishment of a TeachLivE simulation lab to support teacher training.
In addition to project outcomes, the website describes the functions and application of the "TeachLivE" simulations in service of teacher preparation.
Towards OPEN SUNY: A Novel On-line Learning Approach for ECE and ET Students
Mohammed Abdallah
SUNY Polytechnic Institute
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$6,000.00
- Open Educational Resources (OER)
Creation of a virtual environment to support access to microprocessor boards, data acquisition device or even a medical device that students need to connect to understand certain software. Students connect their hardware to computers that do not have the required software environment and still be able to remotely access the developing tools.
Resources included foundational PPT report on the feasibility of separating hardware and software to facilitate online lab experiences
Cross-Cultural Experiential Learning Evaluation Project
Bidhan Chandra
Empire State College
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Three
Amount of Award:$45,000.00
Pilots and strengthens cross institutional adoption of e-Portfolio initiatives on participating campuses through creating a Cross-Cultural Experiential Learning Evaluation Toolkit to improve the development and assessment of international experiential learning activities
The Toolkit provides guidance to faculty to create and deliver appropriate international experiential learning activities that strengthen students’ cross-cultural skills while they are engaged in international experiences. The Toolkit also provides guidance to faculty to coach their students to document their learning artifacts and to produce effective reflection pieces to appear in their e-Portfolios. The Toolkit is expected to be piloted in COIL courses, study abroad experiences, faculty-led trips, in-class curricular efforts, and international service learning experiences.

Exploring New Horizons: Science And Engineering Everywhere, At Anytime And For Everyone
Monica Bugallo
Stony Brook University
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Three
Amount of Award:$52,500.00
- Mobile Learning
A multidisciplinary approach including Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Science Education that focuses on underrepresented students through our collaboration with the Women In Science and Engineering program and the Center of Science and Mathematics Education.
Short-term outcomes include new materials in the form of hardware and software, and presentations related to the projects for delivery of the courses. Long-term outcomes include better motivation of our students to be in the STEM and high technology workplace or part of academic life as faculty.
