The 2008 Faculty Summer Institute for Online and Blended Course Development, a faculty development program conducted by I&IT Learning with participation from the University Library and the Faculty Center for Professional Development,  provides resources to faculty for converting a classroom-based course into an online or blended course. Faculty selected to participate in the Institute will receive a stipend, access to technology resources, and support. All courses must be approved, or submitted for approval, for academic credit and scheduled to be offered in the 2008-2009 academic year.

The Summer Institute takes a comprehensive and systematic approach to the integration of instructional technologies into teaching and learning with sound pedagogy.
