The Dogwood Project is an interdisciplinary
virtual educational environment of teaching
and learning resources for the faculty, staff, students and community
of Northern Virginia
Community College. The project supports the creation of content-rich
academic websites by providing systematic instruction and formalized mentoring to
participants on the development of effective online learning materials.
Initial support for this project came from a grant funded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities. Dr. Belle Wheelan, President
of the College, provided additional
funding for the 1999-2000 academic year. For
2000-2001, the Information Technology Committee of NVCC provided funding; and for
the spring of 2002, the Budget Advisory Committee awarded incentive funds based on a
proposal forwarded by Dr. Monica Sasscer, Associate Dean for
Instructional Technology. For spring 2003, spring 2004 and again for spring 2005, we
have received funding from Dr. Carole Schultz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for
Instructional Technology. Dogwood operates in
cooperation with, and enjoys the support of, the
Technical Application Center (TAC) of the College. The current directors of Dogwood include:
Charlie Evans, Jud Sage,
Aggie Taormina and
Diane Thompson. For further information about the project,
please read some information about our initial
proposal and activities.
