Each semester five faculty in the College of Education are accepted as Learning Links Faculty Fellows. Using this application, interested faculty propose specific, observable changes to an undergraduate teacher education course that will result in increased use of technology in that course by both the faculty member and the students. Applications should include information on (a) what technology will be used; (b) how delivery of course content will be modified; (c) how assignments and projects will use technology; (d) how the infusion of technology into teaching and learning will be modeled.

What do the Fellows get?
From among the applicants, the Learning Links Committee selects the fellows to participate each semester. Incentives for participation include a course release, individualized support from Learning Links personnel, $1,000.00 for hardware and software upgrades that relate directly to the course modifications, and up to $1,000.00 travel funding for presenting a grant related paper at the SITE conference next spring in Albuquerque. All faculty in the UNR College of Education have an opportunity and are encouraged to participate in the Faculty Fellows program.

What are the Fellowship requirements?
Faculty Fellows are required to attend and present at the Learning Links Technology Symposium in the fall, collaborate with a Master Teacher, and participate in grant assessment activities, which include classroom observations, online testing, submission of course materials such as syllabi or relevant class assignments, and a written report of Fellowship related activities. Applicants who are selected will be expected to submit a photograph for posting on the Project Learning Links Web site.

To be considered for a University of Nevada, Reno Project Learning Links Faculty Fellowship, please submit this application by May 15 for fall semester fellowships and November 2 for spring semester fellowships.
