From November 2006 - June 2008, NITLE sponsored an Instructional Innovation Fund (IIF), a program of competitive awards designed to recognize and promote innovation and collaboration at participating institutions in teaching with digital technology. The program, administered as four separate funds by community leaders serving on NITLE's regional advisory councils, awarded support to campus-driven projects (listed above) that spoke to the strengths, needs, and strategic priorities of their respective regions. The IIF program officially concluded at the end of June 2008.
In this participant-centered and participant-administered program, each of NITLE's regional advisory councils was allocated a set amount of award money to use to support the campus-driven projects of its choosing. Each advisory council tailored the program to the strengths, needs, and strategic priorities of its respective region.
The IIF program was designed to leverage and showcase the expertise and vision of its participating campuses in facilitating innovation in teaching with digital technology. The program placed each advisory council in a central, decision-making role for its respective region, enabling each council to recruit applications, review and rate proposals, award selected proposals, and receive reports on the work that it chooses to support and recognize. Examples of each council's call for proposals, including goals, parameters, and deadlines for each regional fund, are listed here:
Although the active dispersal of IIF awards has ended, NITLE continues to work with award recipients to publicize calls for proposals and publish reports related to awarded projects and programs. Award recipients are encouraged to use NITLE's publicity guidelines (.pdf, 43 KB) as a planning aid. The publicity guidelines outline how to access promotional support from NITLE for projects approved by the advisory councils.
