										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>My wife has nearly died twice&#8230;&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>If you have followed my blogs for a while, you likely know the traumatic experience Keena and I faced a decade ago.&nbsp; Until 2003, we had never heard of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/what-are-crohns-and-colitis/what-is-crohns-disease/" rel="noopener">Crohn’s </a>Disease before, but we soon knew learned more about it than any topic either of us had ever studied.&nbsp; Within a few years, Keena had blown through every medical treatment the doctors offered as the disease ravaged her large intestine, eventually succumbing to radical surgery, which proved to be miraculous.&nbsp;</p>
<p>During our decade long struggle with the disease, <strong><em>we came to see the power behind giving.</em></strong>&nbsp; My wife (already a soft-hearted soul)&nbsp;and I started to see how<em> one person, one donation, one hour of time</em>, and on and on, could make a difference.&nbsp; From the volunteers in the hospital helping lift her spirits to the Crohn’s walk we began participating in, philanthropy is important in our world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I think <a href="http://philanthropy-impact.org/inspiration/personal-stories/liz-earle-mbe">Liz Earle</a>, Founder of LiveTwice and ambassador for The Prince&#8217;s Trust, said it well when she stated, <em>“Giving philanthropically isn’t only about donating money &#8211; far from it. We can all give our time, energy, and ideas to a cause in a small or large way and make a genuine difference.”</em></p>

<p><em>To that end, the Institute for Inter-Connected Education is proud to announce an opportunity for colleges and universities, showcasing the power of giving.</em>&nbsp; IICE is happy to announce our first-ever grant opportunity for schools seeking to empower their students, faculty, and staff via better connectedness infrastructure.&nbsp; <strong>This blog is the official announcement for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iceinstitute.org/connectedness-portal-and-mobile-app-grant" rel="noopener">Connectedness Portal &amp; Mobile App Grant</a> (CPMAG), which will open for applications on Nov 2, 2018 (the final</strong><strong>&nbsp;day of <a target="_blank" href="https://events.educause.edu/annual-conference" rel="noopener">Educause</a>).</strong></p>
<p>To help kick things off, Mindful Learning has agreed to sponsor a Grant &amp; Professional Development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iceinstitute.org/workshop" rel="noopener">workshop</a> (Oct 30, 12pm to 5pm, lunch provided).&nbsp; This <strong>free</strong> workshop will not only demonstrate practical applications of connectedness across an institution (with a certification from the Institute)&nbsp;but will also provide insights and information about the grant opportunity.&nbsp; The <em>application materials will be made available on November 2, 2018</em> but let me “tease” the experience here before everything goes live.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Implementation</strong></p>
<p>Essentially, the grant reviewers will be seeking a full implementation plan.&nbsp; At most institutions this will likely include some change management, some process management, strategic thinking, communication plans, and more.&nbsp; After all, everyone knows by now <em>the importance of the “people factor” in any implementation</em>.&nbsp; While <em>this grant will provide an extremely modern, web and mobile based technology solution,</em> without considering people and experiences, the roll out will likely fail.&nbsp; Obviously, that is the exact opposite of what we hope to achieve!</p>
<p>   <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GQeAuo5ABfo?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1" height="480" width="854" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""><br />
</iframe></p>
<p>Augmenting the grant monies (worth approximately $25,000 in year 1 and another $25,000 in year 2) is the <a target="_blank" href="http://ucroo.com" rel="noopener">Campus </a>(by Ucroo) platform.&nbsp; It will be very important for the grantee to work closely with the <strong><em>Campus </em></strong>team throughout implementation, but equally important is the idea that this new toolset will afford a school more choices, opportunities, and options than ever before.&nbsp; As such, workflows and experiences must be considered prior to turning the system on.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Measurement</strong></p>
<p>The <strong><a href="https://www.iceinstitute.org/connectedness-portal-and-mobile-app-grant">Connectedness Portal &amp; Mobile App Grant</a> </strong>is designed to help a school influence real, bottom line issues such as enrollment or retention.&nbsp; When dovetailed with a strong “people” implementation, IICE believes this can positively impact student success and quality too.&nbsp; <strong>But all of this will be done through a lens of analytics.</strong></p>
<p>An unfortunate truth that many education companies rely on is that schools rarely measure the efficacy or success of their initiatives.&nbsp; This means <em>promises of measurable success are often handed out like Tic-Tacs across the education technology space since no one will ever actually validate the claims</em>.&nbsp; So, we are leveraging this grant to help people establish measurable ROI for the central hub infrastructure, but more so, we are going to help guide and consult toward a significant increase in appropriate metrics.&nbsp; We believe today’s colleges and universities struggle with at least one of the following things: <em><strong>new (and better) enrollments, increased retention, or improved student success.&nbsp;</strong></em> This grant aims to bolster one, if not all three of those things.&nbsp; But measurement will tell the complete story.</p>
<p><strong>Across the Institution</strong></p>
<p>This solution sits squarely in the IICE wheelhouse of connectedness.&nbsp; Via a true lifecycle platform,<em><strong> the grantee will have access to a toolset with solutions for several departments.&nbsp;</strong></em> Implementation should consider how and when various departmental groups will begin using the system for gains, efficiencies, communication, collaboration, better access, and more.&nbsp; (Will an iterative approach be taken?&nbsp; Or will a series of parallel implementations be better?)&nbsp;</p>

<p>Likewise, we will encourage our grantee to “lean into” the findings from Apple Technology regarding transformation.&nbsp; Despite our culture of immediate gains, transformation takes time.&nbsp; We at IICE often suggest that there is a 5-step process to this: Resistance &#8211;&gt;&nbsp;Mockery &#8211;&gt;&nbsp;Usefulness &#8211;&gt;&nbsp;Habituation &#8211;&gt;&nbsp;New Gains, Efficiencies, and Innovations</p>
<p>This grant seeks to help an institution be quite intentional about roll out, implementation, process, and more.&nbsp; We feel that this attention to people, process, and production will leave a school in the place to profoundly and positively change experiences.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Apply!</strong></p>
<p>We hope you will strongly consider applying for the <strong><a href="https://www.iceinstitute.org/connectedness-portal-and-mobile-app-grant">Connectedness Portal &amp; Mobile App Grant</a></strong>.&nbsp; The grant is open to all and we feel that everyone / anyone who desires a modern, connected experience on their campus should apply.&nbsp; The application will not be overly tiresome (we at IICE have filled out our share of grant applications…we remember!), but will hopefully start to illustrate the tangible, practical aspects of a solid implementation we are looking for in a grantee.</p>
<p>Come back to this site over the next several weeks as Educause approaches and set your calendars for November 2, 2018 when the grant application packet goes live.</p>
<p>Good luck and good learning.</p>
