awards: Summer Faculty Professional Development Fellowship
Great news, which I will post/edit more into later. This is a summer fellowship to work on my digital tenure portfolio, which I will use to propose to the college/university for use in my actual tenure case. Rock on, ISU, for supporting innovative professional development.

Dear Ryan and Cheryl,
I am pleased to inform you that your innovation fund proposal, “The
Learning Suite: A Collaborative, Technology-rich Environment to Support
Writing/Composition in a Digital Age,” was selected by the Provost’s
Office for funding. Congratulations! Your proposal was well received as
an innovative, high impact project. The project budget was approved at
$86,357. I will be in touch with you soon about when the funds will be
available to you and how you may access those funds. I wish you the best
as you move forward with this initiative. Again, congratulations!Sincerely,
Gary Kiger
Dean
Here is the proposal we sent in. The budget was tweaked a little between submission and acceptance, and some of the things we’re buying are slightly different, but the justification remains the same.

abstract
This group conducted a survey to discover what sorts of instruction is happening at institutions with a nascent or established curriculum of multimodal pedagogy especially as it relates to student and faculty production of multimodal texts. Our aim is to produce a snapshot of various programs working to integrate multimodality into their writing classes. From this data, we hope to provide the CCCC audience with a set of standards/guidelines for best practices within this growing field.

abstract
Literacy has changed as a result of technology, shifting from pedagogies based solely on writing instruction to multimodal pedagogies. My research question for this project is to discover what issues and obstacles nascent and established programs that teach the production of multimodal texts face. This grant extends research on the CCCC grant received the previous year.
