College
of Education gets $1 million grant
The
Learning and Performance Support Laboratory (LPSL), a collaborative group
of more than a dozen professors and research scientists based in the University
of Georgia College of Education, has received a $1.068 million federal grant
for a project that is part of an ongoing national effort to better prepare
future teachers to use technology in their classrooms.
The grant will fund a three-year project titled ''Evidence-based
Technology Enhanced Alternative Curriculum in Higher Education'' or E-TEACH.
Faculty and students from nearly a dozen departments in the education college
and five more in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences will be involved
in the project.
The project emphasizes a blend of technology integration
in teacher education courses, in core arts and sciences undergraduate courses,
and specialized applications in ''majors'' courses in both colleges.
Michael Hannafin, LPSL director and professor of instructional
technology, and Art Recesso, an LPSL research scientist, are co-principal
investigators.
