Online Education Program Development Grants

The purpose of this grant program is to help UW-L develop a larger online presence by providing financial assistance to faculty and instructional academic staff who are interested in developing online degree programs, certificates, minors, concentrations, emphases, etc. 

Ideally, these grants are awarded to groups of faculty or staff who would work collaboratively on program development.   

Developing a new online degree program or converting an existing face-to-face program into an online format is time- and energy-intensive.  The online program development grants are designed to provide support to faculty and instructional academic staff from the beginning/planning stages to the final stages of implementing a new online degree.  These funds could be used to support curricular planning and development, LX form completion, course design and revision, UW-System entitlement to plan and authorization to implement work, and budget development. 

Grant funding areas could include:

·    Program Directorship

·    Course development

·    Course revision

·    Supplies & Expenses

·    Professional Development
