Simon ProSEED Grants to Fund New Technology-Enhanced Learning Projects
Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s grant program will fund nine new technology-enhanced learning (TEL) projects designed to improve education for Â鶹¹ÙÍø students while advancing our understanding of how humans learn.
Two faculty members from the Department of Modern Languages received funding for projects: Gabriele Eichmanns Maier, associate teaching professor of German, will work with Francesca Torello from the School of Architecture to transform a cultural studies course on the city of Vienna into a digital course where students will have a chance to create 3-D models and enhance a historical map of Vienna. Naoko Taguchi, associate professor of second language acquisition and Japanese Studies, plans to create a virtual space to teach Chinese pragmatics.
