About SEED
The SEED process facilitates the creation of new digital objects or resources that enhance teaching or facilitate undergraduate research.  SEED projects will receive dedicated support from teams of software developers, librarians, academic technologists, and student interns for an eight-week period of project development in June and July 2013.

SEED projects have:
• a clear focus on enhancing undergraduate learning.
• a scope that can be completed within eight weeks.
• a plan to be put into use in the 2013-14 academic year.
