Fall 2023 DL Incentives
The Office of Distance Learning is pleased to announce the availability of a limited
number of slots for the “Building Capacity through Online Learning” incentive. This incentive is for faculty to develop new high-quality online-only courses to enhance degree attainment and student success, and to build additional
capacity for on-campus options for students.
We invite all faculty currently teaching courses at FSC to submit a proposal for the
development of a new online course. Proposals for Online Course Development with faculty
electing joint ownership of course content (Work for Hire agreement) will be supported
at $2,500.
Applications will be accepted until May 5, or until the limit is reached.
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION:
- There are a limited number of incentives for fall 2023, so apply early as slots tend
to fill up quickly.
- Priority will be given to high-needs areas in general education and core courses for
programs
- Please discuss your intent to develop the online course with your chairperson prior to submission of application (chair and dean approval is required)
