Faculty
Professional Development Center: FPDC Opportunities
Moulton
Scholars Program Description
The
Moulton Scholars program provides faculty members with resources
to use technology in their scholarship. It supports innovative projects
to enhance teaching and/or research . Scholarships are normally
for one semester and include office space and equipment in Moulton
Hall and consultation with people who have expertise in technology
and curriculum development. There are three routes to becoming a
Moulton Scholar, each of which entails having a project plan and
submitting a brief application to the FPDC.
- Route
1: Have a project plan that can be completed as part of a
normal workload with the use of resources in Moulton Hall.
- Route
2: Have a project plan with special time allocated for completion
in residence at Moulton (professional leaves offer such an opportunity,
as do departmental reallocation in load).
- Route
3: Apply to the Faculty Professional Development Center Council
for a scholarship of up to $2,000 toward a two credit hour load
reallocation for the term of the scholarship which when matched
with departmental sources of one credit hour enables the faculty
member to have the equivalent of a three credit hour course time
reallocation for the special project. Faculty wishing to apply
to be a Moulton Scholar during their professional improvement
leave are highly encouraged to do so. It is our experience that
these have been among the most successful projects.
Amount:
In Route 3 Up to $2,000 (the equivalent for one two-credit hour
course) can be linked with departmental funds of $1,000 to make
a 3 credit hour course reallocation for the term of the scholarship.
Small grants (up to $500) can be applied for in conjunction with
this scholarship for technology aides such as software or small
equipment. Grants from the University Research Council and the University
Teaching Council may also be available depending the project. Up
to $500 for professional development and teaching aides are available
for those applying via Routes I & 2. Eligibility: The Moulton Scholars
Program is open to faculty members who teach credit courses at least
half-time and have not had a Moulton Scholarship in the last three
years. Selection: The FPDC Council uses a subcommittee comprised
of its committees on Technology and the Scholarship of Teaching
to review and make recommendations on scholar ships. Depending upon
funds available, there may be 8 or more awards a year. Approximately
twelve office locations are available each semester for Faculty
Scholars. Submission: Bring or send one cover sheet, and 8 copies
of your application package to Mary Lou Holly, Faculty Professional
Development Center, 209 Moulton Hall, Kent State University, Kent,
Ohio 44242.
