Grant Summary
$25,000 over 6 months for a planning grant to the “Upstate New York Language Consortium” to expand their collective foreign language course offerings through online and blended learning formats. A distinctive feature of this collaborative group will be a focus on hybrid learning courses that infuse language and cultural studies into business, education, and health professional preparation programs. During this planning process, the campus partners will negotiate the logistics behind the formation of their consortium, including assessment of available resources and development of processes and intercollegiate agreements for shared hybrid offerings. A workshop will gather foreign language and professional studies faculty to brainstorm about interdisciplinary courses that would best serve their student populations.
