Internet2 Champions and Mini-Grants
Internet2 Champions and Mini-Grants
promotion and funding of Internet2-related activities faculty representatives from each college, ITS, library ‘seed grant’ funding program for promising research and
development (R&D) projects that require I2 bandwidth and processing capabilities
focus on activities funded through two of these mini-grants interactive evaluation methodology for identifying socio-
technical aspects of user-centered physical learning places and virtual learning spaces
design of a virtual environment to facilitate interaction

Conclusions and Wrap-UpConclusions and Wrap-Up
Learning Commons as focal point re-design of under-utilized space in the library
Internet2-enabled learning and teaching approaches collaboration, access to remote resources
participatory interaction, evaluation, and dialogue involvement of various user groups early on
‘learning by doing’ students work on practical projects in class
