New York Six

Grant Summary

$150,000 over 28 months for the New York Six to create intercampus partnerships through use of blended learning. Through an RFP process, the provosts on each campus will select projects that utilize one of two blending techniques: (1) one that targets comparable classes on two or more campuses, with a faculty member on each campus leading the course discussions with his/her students, and all classes utilizing common online elements; (2) another that enables faculty to develop a blended learning course that will be offered across two or more campuses, but which is not team-taught. The New York Six will develop technology-supported instructional models that can be replicated or modified for faculty use in a wide range of disciplines.
