Out of crises new opportunities and innovations can emerge. In order to sustain the digital learning innovations that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, we launched Carry the Innovation Forward. Learning Innovation will provide staff support and funding for selected proposals that focus on innovative learning research, new learning technology exploration, re-envisioning a course or program for flexible or online learning, or faculty learning communities.
Between February and March 2021, we received 43 applications, notably with representation from all of Duke’s schools. From those, we selected 29 to support. We find the list of projects an encouraging sign that our faculty are indeed moving forward (despite our current situation not truly being ‘post-pandemic’) with new innovations – both big and small.
