In 2005, 19 proposals were submitted to the Innovations in Teaching with Technology Awards. The Academic Technology Advisory Council awarded a total of $102,149 for the following five proposals.
An Audiovisual Library of Spoken Spanish
Carlos-Eduardo Piñeros, UI Department of Spanish and Portuguese, received $22,095 to develop an audiovisual library, which uses speech samples from a wide variety of native speakers, to document the most representative patterns in the pronunciation of modern spoken Spanish.
Videos of Normal Language Development for Use in Instructional Setting
Amanda Owen, UI Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, was awarded $25,600 to create video clips with high-quality audio recordings that exemplify language and cognitive milestones in child development between the ages of birth and 5. The project will occur in two phases. During Phase 1, video recordings will be created to provide material for the second phase. Phase 2 will consist of organizing and processing this material into easily accessible examples for use in teaching and making it publicly available.
Using Web-based Interactive Virtual Reality to Teach Human Laryngeal Anatomy
Jerald Moon, UI Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, and Jim Duncan, Hardin Library, received $25,972 to develop a web-based interactive teaching module that will provide students with educational multimedia content including a three-dimensional platform for studying important anatomical and physiologic features of the human larynx.
ObjectMover Authoring Tool for Foreign Language Learning
James P. Pusack, UI Department of German, and Sue Otto, Language Media Center, were awarded $3,250 to create a flexible authoring tool, ObjectMover, that will allow instructors to create visually stimulating interactions that learners can use to capture essential components of a web-based text or a streaming video.
