TTSP icon TTSP is a program that places technically savvy graduate students in departments over a three-year period, to work with faculty to foster technology integration and teaching innovation. The program pays the entire cost of a Partner's position during the first year, half the cost for the second year, and a quarter of the cost for the third.

TTSP is designed to accomplish three goals:

  • to assist faculty who would like to integrate entry- and mid-level technologies into their teaching;
  • to help academic units leverage technology resources and support technology integration in their courses and programs; and
  • to enrich the preparation of graduate students who serve as Partners for their future roles as faculty members.

TTSP is a component of the Teaching+Technology Initiative (TTI); both programs are jointly administered by ITC's Instructional Technology Group and the Teaching Resource Center. Since the program began in 1999, more than 20 departments, schools and centers throughout the University have participated.
