Mini Grant Submission for 2003-2004
College of Education and Educational Technology
Lynanne Black, Ph.D. and Gurmal Rattan, Ph.D.
Department of Educational and School Psychology
Webct Course Development
Introduction
For the present submission, I am applying for a mentor mini grant. I am a new professor to
Indiana University of Pennsylvania and am interested in learning more about available
technology. I already have begun to experiment with more familiar types of technology. For
instance, I have worked with the “P” drive for my courses, specifically EDSP 102, Educational
Psychology and EDSP 713, Assessment for Intervention II. While this option allows me to offer
information to my students, it is limited in the continuum of services I can provide. I would like
to do more than simply store information for them. I am looking for a more advanced approach
to online courses with more options than the “P” drive provides, and I believe that Webct can
provide them to me. Dr. Gurmal Rattan, Professor in the Department of Educational and School
Psychology, has agreed to serve as my mentor through this process.
I am looking to accomplish the following goals:
1. Register for new Webct courses
2. Transfer files from a Microsoft Word format to an html format
3. Manage files
4. Create and access folders
5. Download and upload information to be included in courses
6. Edit documents
7. Import students into courses
8. Manage student folders
I would like to include the following information in my courses for EDSP 102 and EDSP 713:
1. Syllabus
2. Office hours
3. Rubrics for assignments
4. Handouts
5. Homework assignments
6. Class activities
7. Calendar
I am confident that offering online courses will provide numerous benefits. First, it will increase
my teaching efficiency by affording students access to information on an as needed basis. Also,
it will reduce the time they spend looking for lost papers or seeking me out for another copy of
an important document. Second, the amount and types of information available to my students
will improve dramatically with online resources. Third, it will reduce the need for paper copies

Furthermore, my students will be exposed to higher levels of technology and will be required to use it as part of the course work. Finally, it will allow the opportunity for more communication between me and my students due to the constant availability of information and our mutual access to the online calendar. Summary The purpose of this submission is to apply for a mentor grant in order to devise online aspects of my courses through the use of Webct. Dr. Rattan will serve as my mentor for this project. By registering my courses online I will gain access to Webct and with Dr. Rattan’s guidance I will learn how to set up my courses, place pertinent information online, have student information available online, and manage online calendars. I realize that learning about Webct will require a time commitment on my part, and I am willing to put in the necessary effort. Budget I am applying for the $300 offered for the mentor mini grant. The budget is as follows: Black Item Cost Lexmark X6150 All-In-One Printer $200. Rattan Item Cost Professional Membership Fees $100.
