Three Indiana universities will receive extra monetary support for student learning improvement projects.
The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana selected Butler University, the University of Indianapolis and Wabash College as recipients of its Library Innovation Grant, which seeks to fund the organization’s priorities and motivate consortium collaboration.
“By providing financial support and recognition, this grant empowers librarians at PALNI schools to explore novel ideas, leverage emerging technologies, and elevate the overall teaching and learning experience for students, faculty, and staff,” PALNI Executive Director Kirsten Leonard said in a news release.
Butler’s Irwin Library was given a $12,000 grant to develop faculty understanding of artificial intelligence and create a repository for AI tools and AI literacy materials.
The University of Indianapolis Krannert Memorial Library is partnering with the Faculty Academy for Excellence and Innovation and Faculty Learning Community to create ADA-compliant instructional micro lectures to reinforce class concepts for students. It received $4,000 for the project.
Wabash College’s Lilly Library received $4,000 to build a videography studio in addition to its podcast studio. Digital media students will have increased opportunity to use the technology in courses.
