The following programs are not sponsored by CITL, but do connect to teaching at IUB.
This program provides an opportunity, over the course of a full academic year, for faculty to engage in active learning practices with other Mosaic Fellows, as well as contribute towards the development of learning spaces across Indiana University. The program has four goals: Prepare faculty members to teach in active learning classrooms by exploring a variety of instructional strategies and technologies. Build a community of faculty members who collaborate to advance their own teaching and to mentor other colleagues exploring new pedagogies. Promote evidence-based teaching by encouraging instructors to study the impacts of new spaces and instructional approaches on student learning. Create faculty leaders who work together and with other stake holders to guide the development of new learning spaces across the university
Exceptional teachers deserve recognition. This simple but important idea inspired FACET’s founding, and we continue to celebrate the importance of teaching through awards whose recipients are nominated by their peers. Nominate your colleagues for the awards below, and for other university awards for teaching and instructional support.
These grants are intended to support course instructors and librarians in collaboratively integrating information literacy into a course or academic program. As a result of these projects, students will have opportunities throughout a course or program to develop their abilities to engage with and use sources critically in order to accomplish specific purposes within or beyond a given discipline. Course instructors will define the more particular meanings and applications of information literacy to their course or program.
This program represents an instructional component of a broad‐based initiative developed by the IU Office of Sustainability and the Integrated Program in the Environment. We are interested in supporting innovative approaches to instruction of complex, interdisciplinary topics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Courses that may contribute to the newly developed degree in Environmental & Sustainability Studies will be given high priority for support. Service‐learning courses and those that involve applying sustainability principles to the IU Bloomington campus are of particular interest.
The Sustainability Community of Practice convenes for summer seminars and ongoing meetings to enhance the pedagogical efforts of this emerging community of sustainability scholars. Creating this community in which faculty gain a firm foundation in one another’s approaches to sustainability and meaningful differences will require the creation of a growing faculty cohort over the course of several years. These activities are designed to facilitate cross-department interaction and coordination through discussions of research-based sustainability learning principles.
These awards are designed to encourage and support sustainability research by currently enrolled Indiana University undergraduate and graduate students. Successful proposals have clearly stated goals and objectives, employ appropriate methods and tools, and address sustainability challenges, such as resource stewardship, assessment and mitigation of environmental impacts caused by human activity, and institutional and societal responses to ecological change.
The Center for the Study of Global Change promotes curriculum internationalization and encourages the incorporation of global learning outcomes in teaching and learning. The Global Center offers a limited number of Curriculum Development Grants each year to develop new undergraduate or graduate courses or substantially revise existing courses to include significant international content. All faculty are eligible to apply, though projects which are broadly international and promote collaboration among professional schools, academic departments and/or area studies programs are particularly encouraged. Applications are accepted and reviewed year round.
