2004 Spring Track B
Independent Project Development
(one 2-hour session with other sessions as needed)

General Spring Track Information
This year, FDI is again offering alternative tracks that will meet during the spring semester. By attending the sessions that comprise the spring tracks, faculty can meet the participation requirements to receive computers. Enrollments in spring tracks will be limited. 

General Description
This track provides a studio approach for advanced FDI participants who are developing a large course enhancement or transformation project or are considering such a project. Participants interested in this track will meet individually with the track facilitator during February 2004 to develop a plan of action. This initial meeting will determine project feasibility, support needs, and appropriate instructional sessions needed. Enrollment will be limited to ensure a quality experience and adequate coverage of determined needs. This workshop can be used as a companion to Tracks C and/or K, and academic support staff and graduate teaching assistants may participate with faculty as a 2-person project team.

Spring Track B Requirements
Track B requires that participants attend one 2-hour short course, provide a project plan and submit a written project follow-up with demonstrated completion of plan to receive a computer. Participants will work one-on-one with the track facilitator to assess their needs and develop an individual plan to meet the track requirements.

Spring Track Note:
Before you register for Spring Track Sessions, please be sure that "B1" is selected as your first track choice on the spreadsheet that your department is returning to FDI.
