Faculty Innovation Grants (FIG)

Faculty Innovation Grants (FIG) are devoted to the creation or application of learning objects, resources or innovative approaches by faculty members, with the support of the TLT Center, to infuse technology in courses scheduled to be taught at Seton Hall no later than one academic year after receiving the grant. 

Faculty Innovation Grants are sponsored by the Teaching, Learning and Technology Center, together with the Faculty Senate IT Committee and the Digital Humanities Committee and are offered when funds are made available. The faculty will be notified when these grants are available with a Request for Proposals (RPF).

Faculty interested in pursuing a FIG must submit a proposal using the FIG Submission Form. The applications will be reviewed and recommendations for funding will be made to the TLT Center by a faculty committee.

Successful proposals address the following criteria:

Impact. Activity/Assignments created through the grant should have the potential to be applied beyond the initial course(s) for which they are created. Applicants should explain how they intend to make their resources available to broader constituencies.

Learning Outcomes & Pedagogy. Proposals should demonstrate sound and innovative pedagogical practices and illustrate clearly how the project will result in an enhanced learning experience in the classroom or online. Proposals that greatly impact and improve student learning outcomes and align to specific outcomes are favored.

Assessment. Successful project proposals will include a draft assessment or detailed assessment plan to measure specific learning objectives and Digital Literacy skills. The assessment should be linked to the learning objectives for which the project is developed.
