Grant Summary

$150,000 over 24 months to develop its New Paradigm Initiative, which is focused on the development of "blended learning" opportunities in order to expand the range of learning opportunities available at the sixteen liberal arts colleges that are ACS members. This initiative combines computer-mediated instruction with the highly engaged face-to-face teaching and learning opportunities that have long characterized these colleges. The funding will allow ACS to further develop the work and begin to embed it in the ongoing life of the colleges, their faculty and their students.
