SUNY invites applications for two projects funded by the Innovative Instruction Technology Grant (IITG) program. IITG seeks to promote research and innovation to foster understanding of how new technologies support academic excellence and student success. The projects will focus on investigation of software tools that enable flexible instruction at scale and help inform the new SUNY Digital Learning Environment. True to the spirit of the IITG program, the 2021–2022 projects will be faculty-guided efforts.

1. Tools for HyFlex Course Delivery - This project will examine the efficacy of online tools that support HyFlex learning models valued by nontraditional and adult students with multiple demands on their time. SUNY defines HyFlex as instruction that simultaneously combines online and face-to-face instruction into a single course section, with the mode of direct instruction determined by each individual student (e.g., choice of seated-in-class, connected remotely, or attended at a later time via recording).
    
2.  Tools to Teach Large Courses - Faculty members will explore instructional technology tools that help facilitate feedback, assessment, and interaction in large enrollment (> 50 students) courses. The goal of this project is to guide professional development and investment in the tools that prove suitable for teaching larger courses.

The deadline to apply as a participant in either project is Monday, April 25. The project pages contain links to the short application form. Those who apply will be informed no later than Friday, May 6, if they will be invited to participate.
