Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) Project Assistant
This project is particularly looking for a CALS and an engineering intern. Delta interns will use an open source, Moodle-based, course management system known as eCOW2. A Delta Intern will collaborate within a team of instructional technology consultants, CAE staff, and STEM educators to explore pedagogical decisions  and how technology could support student learning. An intern will also guide faculty in their pedagogical and technology decisions related to learning outcomes, assessment strategies, and learning activities and resources.

Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation: Academic Enrichment Program
The WiscAMP AEP Program is designed to increase awareness of science careers, knowledge, and problem-solving skills of motivated underrepresented minority freshmen. WiscAMP AEP will offer an 8-week academic enrichment summer program  from June 1 – July 24, 2009 at UW-Madison. The program will enroll approximately 20 students from WiscAMP alliance institutions. Students will participate in courses and professionalization workshops each day. A Delta intern will work with program faculty and staff to develop new instructional activities in science, math and writing. They will also work with students one-on-one and in groups to implement instructional materials that are tailored to individual academic needs.

UW-Richland Center Biology Project Assistant
The goal of this project is to determine how best to develop a constructivist lab for freshman level biology students (major and/or non major) to assist them with understanding how evolution works at the population and molecular level. UW-Richland is one of 13 two-year transfer campuses where students can earn their associate’s degrees.  The campus is less than 1.5 hrs drive from Madison. This is a great opportunity to explore teaching on a UW System campus! A delta intern will develop a “stand-alone” product that can be implemented in any classroom setting where evolution is covered as a topic, with the primary focus on introductory biology courses.  The project will address the question: Can a constructivist lab on bacterial evolution help students learn about the major tenets of evolutionary theory?
