Articulate Learning Outcomes PSY 200 Pilot Team Grant Program Application

Please remember to read through the entire PSY 200 Pilot Team Grant Request for Proposal page on this site
before you submit your online application.


















If you have collaborated with other VCCS colleges, please list them below.

























Example: Online Model Course for PSY 200: Principles of Psychology



Describe the Pilot Team's plan for course development strategy which includes a complete course aligned with the articulated learning outcomes provided by the PSY 200 ALO Curriculum Committee. The model course must be designed for easy replication at any VCCS college. Please describe the strategy for developing the following course components:
  • Course calendar
  • Learning objects, class activities, assignments, tests, etc. sufficient to fully support instruction from the first day of class through the final exam. Pilot Teams may, but are not required to, make use of the resource repository provided by the PSY 200 ALO Curriculum Committee.
  • Research-based instructional standards and strategies (e.g. active learning, cooperative/collaborative learning, Chickering and Gamson’s Seven Principles, Quality Matters or college adopted model for online effectiveness).




Describe the Pilot Team’s plan for initially adopting the model course at its college(s). Identify course sections to be involved in both the testing phase and the full implementation phase, including:
  • Total number or sections, percentage of total sections offered for that course, and total number of students.
  • Type of sections, such as those instructed by adjunct faculty or by new faculty, all sections at a college or on a particular campus, etc.




Describe the Pilot Team’s plan for consulting with both full-time and adjunct discipline faculty at the host college and/or at other VCCS colleges during the development, review, and revision of the model course.





Describe how the Pilot Team will adhere to the assessment guidelines established by the ALO Curriculum Committee for the direct assessment of student learning outcomes and the indirect assessment of student achievement (e.g. course completion rates).









Describe the Pilot Team’s plan for promoting the model course system-wide and for supporting VCCS discipline faculty with the implementation of the model course (e.g. webinars, workshops, and/or presentations at Peer Group meetings, the New Horizons Conference, and Center for Teaching Excellence events). This strategy will include a print or electronic resource guide.



Provide a description of how the Pilot Team will use the $5,000 award, which may include release time for faculty developers, stipends, technology purchases, professional development costs, or other expenditures that conform to state policies (consult with the college business office).





Please provide any additional information that would assist reviewers in assessing the merits of this proposal.
