This second Bush-Hewlett Grant at Spelman College, “Building Virtual Learning
Communities: Using the Web for Electronic Research, Collaboration and Publication,”
is designed as a multi-discipline faculty development program that blends technology
with independent student projects to deepen student skills in communication,
research, and critical thinking. The grant will provide training and support
for 27 faculty fellows over a period of three years. Over time, the faculty
projects will develop websites that highlight some specific feature of the students’
academic production—in text and multimedia.
The design of the grant follows the findings of the 1987 article, “Seven
Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education,” especially as
they are mediated by the 1996 article, “Implementing the Seven Principles:
Technology as Lever.”
