Developing Teaching and Technology at Xavier

Are you interested in using e-mail in your courses? Putting your course syllabus or class assignments on-line? Developing electronic presentations for classroom use? Producing an interactive Web site for a course? Authoring a CD-ROM or multimedia project in your discipline? Mellon grant funds for these and other faculty technology projects are available for summer 1999 and for the 1999-2000 academic year. The new Mellon grant is administered jointly by the Xavier University Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable (TLTR) and CAT.
