After the spring 2020 emergency transition of all courses to a remote, online learning format as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and with the goal of being more prepared for Fall 2020, Guided Pathways offered “Faculty Online Innovation Grants.” The project is a collaboration between Guided Pathways, the Distance Education department, and the Faculty Development committee. The announcement called for teams of 4-6 faculty, including a librarian or counselor, to come together to collaboratively work on designing Canvas modules for either one course in their area, a group of courses which would be designed around an “ideal module,” or other project around online education in their area. As a result, 13 groups were accepted to receive grants. Here is a list of the teams and information about each project.
