eLearning Grants & Mentoring

Who Can Apply?

Each semester, residential and adjunct faculty are invited to apply for support to develop a new, web-based distance learning course. A “new” course is defined as one not currently offered online at MCC.

How Does it Work?

Grant winners spend two semesters preparing their courses. During the first semester, faculty members develop the courses and attend weekly meetings with the Distance Learning Mentoring Group (DLMG). During these meetings, grant recipients discuss and address distance learning-related issues including curriculum design, technology options, course management logistics, and other pertinent topics. Faculty members then pilot their courses during the next semester.

During the development phase, residential faculty receive reassigned time equal to the number of credit hours of the proposed course. Adjunct faculty receive a special services contract equal to the credit hours of the proposed course. The semester after development, residential faculty members pilot the course as part of their regular course load. Adjunct faculty receive a contract to teach the course.
