Congratulations to the 2024-2025 New Initiative Grant recipients:
Evi Reakes and JD Rios (pictured here with Chris Knife)
Learning Resources Center, Ocala Campus
Their project will help to enhance the group study experience for students as they add a 55” interactive display monitor to one of the group study rooms in the Ocala Campus library. Students will be able to connect their personal devices to the display monitor, accessing another level of instructional support and collaboration opportunities. They will be able to view lectures and educational videos.
The New Initiative Grant, collegewide, goes to:
Melissa Alling, Dr. Iain Grinbergs and Mae Sands (pictured here with Chris Knife)
Communications, Citrus, Levy & Ocala campuses
This team will produce open educational resources to be used by students enrolled in the freshman Composition Skills II courses at all three campuses. These instructors will ensure that materials meet the required standards while allowing for some flexibility to suit their individual teaching styles. In an effort to ease the burden of textbook affordability, this resource will be available to students at no charge and required in lieu of purchased textbooks.
