State and System Course Redesign
The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning: Mississippi Course Redesign Initiative (2007– 2010)
The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) has established a major course redesign initiative, in partnership with the National Center for Academic Transformation, for its member institutions. The goal is to achieve improvements in learning outcomes as well as reductions in instructional costs by redesigning large-enrollment, multi-section courses using technology-supported active learning strategies. The initiative will build on the successful models and lessons learned from NCAT’s Program in Course Redesign and Roadmap to Redesign. During the 2007-2008 academic year, the program expects to award up to 15 grants to support redesign projects. It is anticipated that most course redesign projects can be completed for $50,000 and most awards will be in this range. An additional $50,000 per project may be awarded to projects of exceptional merit requiring significant equipment purchases (e.g., establishing a mathematics emporium).
