The CTE would like to highlight some of the final reports from our Small Grant Program. The Small Grant Program supports faculty in their efforts to improve teaching; reports from the participants are due in August, at the conclusion of the grant cycle.

Our first highlighted report comes from Sara Wilson McKay in the Department of Art Education, School of the Arts. The purpose of her project was to investigate the use of a wiki to enable transcontinental collaboration with a colleague at another university and among our collective graduate students. The wiki facilitated discussion and group work both for VCU art education graduate students in an online curriculum theory class and art history graduate students in a seminar at another university.

You can find her report at:
