Are you ready to raise the level of teaching and learning at Iowa?

The Innovations in Teaching with Technology Awards (ITTA) provide funding for innovative and results-oriented learning technology projects that raise the level of teaching and learning and have the potential to impact student success and retention.

The Academic Technology Advisory Committee (ATAC) seeks to support projects that employ collaborative learning strategies and student use of emerging technologies for teaching and learning. Priority will be given to projects that, if proven successful, can be replicated throughout the university. Cross-disciplinary projects are encouraged, but not required.  

A total of $100,000 is available for awards. The number of awards will be determined by the quality of the applications. A single award or multiple awards may be made. Applications can be made to support the costs of hardware, software, and personnel. Funding is not available to support faculty salaries.

Since 2001, ATAC has awarded over $1.8 million to instructors from across campus.
