PDAD&C #5, 2013-14 To: Principals, Deans, Academic Directors & Chairs All Faculty Professional and Managerial Staff Educational Technology Staff From: Cheryl Misak, Vice-President and Provost Date: July 16, 2013 Re: Provost's Instructional Technology Innovation Fund (ITIF) I am pleased to announce that funding is available for a new round of the Provost's Instructional Technology Innovation Fund (ITIF), a seed fund that catalyzes innovative initiatives that have an immediate and direct impact on U of T education and teaching programs. The ITIF is funded by the Provost and administered by Academic & Collaborative Technologies, a partnership between the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation (CTSI), and Information + Technology Services (ITS). This year's proposed ITIF theme is: Re-Useable Course Content. This theme seeks to encourage the development of course content that can be used in a variety of different teaching settings, and that is ideally free of charge to U of T students. As in previous years, proposals need not be specifically tied to the annual theme; however, projects that do so are adjudicated accordingly. Instructors and departments are encouraged to submit proposals by the deadline of August 2, 2013. For full details, please visit the ITIF website: http://itif.utoronto.ca
