FREEDMAN CENTER
FELLOWS PROGRAM 2007
The Kelvin Smith Library is pleased to announce the 2007 Freedman
Fellows Program for faculty. The Freedman Fellows Program is
sponsored by the Freedman Center, which is a partnership between
the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kelvin Smith Library.
The Freedman Fellows Program is a collaborative effort between
the Kelvin Smith Library (KSL), the College of Arts and Sciences,
the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education
(UCITE), and the Information Technology and Academic Computing
(ITAC) group. The Freedman Center contains equipment, collections
and personnel to provide a range of services related to multimedia
creation as well as equipment for scanning and digitizing paper
and other analog materials.
For those interested in the Freedman Fellows Program, an information
meeting will be held on Friday, April 13th, 2007, from 12:30-2:00
in the Kelvin Smith Library’s Dampeer Room. Interested
applicants must attend this meeting to be considered, and application
instructions will be distributed at that time. Additionally,
a general overview of the program will be given along with answers
to any questions interested faculty may have. Please RSVP to
Thomas.Hayes@case.edu, as lunch will be provided (please include
any dietary restrictions if applicable).
Six Freedman Fellows (faculty members) will be named in 2007
and each will receive a stipend of $3000 to be spent on curricular
re-design projects. The award may be used to supplement salary.
The Freedman Fellows program this year will require faculty
attendance at a week-long seminar, May 21st-May 25th, covering
instructional design and learning principles, planning for the
use of technology in curricular re-design, and hands-on access
to and use of various technologies in the Freedman Center—-all
centered on getting faculty the tools necessary to move forward
with course enhancement.
The Freedman Fellows Program is intended to showcase the Freedman
Center’s potential. The awards encourage the use of information
and instructional technologies and the building of teaching
tools that support the development of information and research
skills objectives for undergraduate students.

Librarian (Thomas.Hayes@case.edu).
