posted by on tuesday, march 31, 2015 in news.

the vanderbilt institute for digital learning (vidl) invites applications for a total of four graduate student fellowships for the 2015-2016 academic year. stipends will be approximately $5,500 per academic year (this is intended to reflect a roughly 5-hour commitment weekly).

download, complete and email the application as an attachment named <your-last-name>-vidl-application.pdf . also attach your curriculum vitae (named <your-last-name>-cv.pdf ). email these documents to vidl-grad-fellowships@vanderbilt.edu.

examples of possible projects include data mining of online student behavior; studies of student motivation with online environments; tracking organizational changes at vanderbilt as a result of the institute itself; researching a history of selected digital learning technologies such as mobile devices, and investigating societal implications of the technology; preparing, posting, and evaluating original educational online material on a selected topic, and placing it in the web of existing material in that area; characterizing and researching worst-case analyses of peer assessment strategies, rather than (simply) average-case analyses. information on previous and current graduate fellows is available here.
