CITL Call for Proposals to Collaborate

CITL Faculty Fellowships

CITL Faculty Fellowships will be offered to accepted proposals in one of the six following areas that require a substantial investment of time (e.g., a significant course redesign, integration of an innovative project into the course, adoption of a wholly new teaching approach, etc):

• “Inquiry-based Learning.” Fellows will receive support in developing inquiry-based approaches, questions, and projects that spark curiosity, motivate learning, reward effective communication, and support guided reflection.
• “Generative AI as a Pedagogical Tool.” Fellows will receive support in identifying and selecting instructional approaches and assessments that help their students build the critical thinking skills and information/data/media literacy competencies related to the arrival of this technology into educational and working environments.
• “Game-based Learning.” Fellows will receive support to incorporate analog, digital, and role-playing games, gamification, and game development into their course design and pedagogy as a means of enhancing student engagement, motivation, and problem-solving skills. This support includes guidance on interactive design, the critical analysis of games, and the development and integration of game-based learning modules/platforms (e.g., educational sandboxes, serious games, interactive storytelling).
• “Harnessing XR/VR Technologies.” Fellows will receive support in teaching, demonstrating, and exposing students to content through the use of specialized platforms such as 3D model labs, virtual classrooms/meeting spaces, VR simulations, design and drafting tools, as well as other immersive experiential learning resources.
• “Writing Across the Curriculum.” Fellows will receive support to incorporate meaningful writing assignments into their courses. We particularly invite proposals related to writing assignments with multiple revisions that involve peer-to-peer learning and review.
• “Integrating Data Visualization Strategies.” Fellows will receive support on effectively using data visualization to enhance student comprehension of data and data storytelling. This support includes training on the use of visualization tools (e.g., GIS software, R & Python programming languages), fostering concepts of data literacy, and applying critical thinking approaches.

CITL Faculty Fellows receive priority LTS staff support and have access to specialized technologies as needed to support their instructional approaches. CITL Faculty Fellows are asked to present at CITL events and/or to facilitate discussions with CITL-sponsored communities of practice.
