Third ITLE focuses on assessment The Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs has announced year three of the Initiative for Teaching and Learning Excellence. This academic year, the initiative will distribute $100,000 for outcomes-based undergraduate program assessment projects that use direct measures of student learning to guide decisions about improving curriculum and pedagogy. The goal of the third-year initiative is to enable undergraduate programs to develop and implement a complete and continuous cycle of improvement. Funds awarded must be expended by May 2008. ITLE proposals must be submitted electronically to the dean of the originating college by Oct. 27. Grant work must be shared in a campus presentation by December 2008. For more information on the initiative, including application information, go online to www.unl.edu/svcaa/itle/itle3. Direct specific inquiries about proposed projects to Dave Wilson, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, at teaching@unl.edu or 472-3751.
