Faculty members teaching undergraduate courses at George Mason University are invited to apply to the Technology Across the Curriculum Faculty Fellows program for Summer and Fall of 2007. Up to 10 Faculty Fellows will be selected to participate in a cohort of faculty working to integrate a common technology into a course that they will be
teaching in Fall 2007. The technology focus for this first cohort will be blogging.

A call for participation for the TAC Faculty Fellows for Winter and Spring 2008 will be issued by the end of June this year. That cohort will have a new technology focus.

Faculty Fellows will receive a stipend of $4,000 and travel support of up to $500 to attend a conference where they give a presentation on a topic related to their work in the cohort.

TAC Symposium at George Mason University May 20-21, 2005

The goal of the award-winning Technology across the Curriculum (TAC) Program is to promote the most effective uses of technology to enhance learning. Through TAC, technology is being introduced into undergraduate courses so that students extend their mastery of course material while learning technology skills and how to use these skills to solve problems. This curriculum helps prepare students for a lifetime of learning in our increasingly technological world.

The philosophical underpinnings of Technology across the Curriculum are rooted in the value of the liberal arts as discussed in the TAC vision statement. This vision is realized in the specific features of the TAC Program, which has identified 10 IT goals and funds projects each year to help achieve them. The success of TAC and its sustainability depend on a university-wide support structure, which serves both faculty and students.

TAC has made a significant impact at George Mason. Highlights features some of its major accomplishments. The TAC Calendar includes this year's events and deadlines for funding.

In the Spring of 2006, Technology Across the Curriculum will be featured in a special issue of inventio.  The call for articles has been issued with a deadline of December 31, 2005 for submissions.
