Next.IU fellows
A $5,000 stipend to help develop new tech solutions at IU
The Next.IU eLearning Innovation Faculty Fellowship provides opportunities for IU instructors to work with learning technology professionals to explore and develop new tech solutions that support student success.
No deep tech expertise is required. We'll provide that. We're looking for innovative faculty and your ideas. The year-long program includes a $5,000 stipend and is open to full-time faculty from any IU campus.
We're looking for ideas about innovative uses of existing IU tools, exploration of new tools developed externally, and/or development of new tools developed in collaboration with UITS staff. We want to hear from innovative faculty who are eager to collaborate and experiment.
