The regional advisory councils of NITLE promote innovation by supporting community-driven projects and programs with awards from the NITLE Instructional Innovation Fund. Participating colleges that receive these awards are working on behalf of the community to develop and promulgate effective, mission-appropriate uses for digital technology in teaching and learning.
The NITLE Instructional Innovation Fund (IIF) is a program of competitive awards designed to recognize and promote campus-based innovations and collaborations. The program, administered as four separate funds by the regional advisory councils of NITLE, will run through June 2008.
