LAS faculty and instructors:

Engineering-LAS Online Learning (ELO) online course development grants for Summer and Fall 2018 courses are now available. Please review the information below and apply online at [ELO Grant Application](https://www.elo.iastate.edu/design-and-delivery/engineering-las-development-grant/) if interested. The deadline for submitting your application is January 12, 2018.

A limited number of proposals may be awarded in this cycle, due to the additional workload of migrating to Canvas. Preference will be given to proposals that address [ELO’s grant priorities](https://www.elo.iastate.edu/design-and-delivery/elo-course-development-grant/).

You may apply for an ELO grant if you are scheduled to teach in Summer and/or Fall 2018 and would like to:
– Create a new online course or convert a face-to-face course to an online format (up to $3,000/credit hour),
– Create a [blended course](https://www.elo.iastate.edu/design-and-delivery/blended-course-grants/) (online and in-class) ($2,000/credit hour)
– Improve your existing online course (up to $1,000/credit hour)

Grant Conditions
– The funding should be used to support online course development/improvement only. Please see [Expenditure Guidelines](http://www.elo.iastate.edu/design-and-delivery/expenditure-guidelines/) for details.
– The funding includes the services of ELO’s instructional design staff to ensure courses reflect [Quality Matters](https://www.qualitymatters.org/) best practices for online design.
– Course will be evaluated for usability and course design each time it is offered during the grant period.
– Grants do not support courses that involve live lecture capture as the primary mode of instruction.
