佛罗里达州圣菲学院获300万美元联邦拨款:建超级智能研究院与学习实验室

位于美国佛罗里达州阿拉楚阿县盖恩斯维尔市(Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida)的圣菲学院(Santa Fe College)10月19日宣布,获得为期五年、总额300万美元的联邦Title III「强化院校计划」拨款,由美国劳工部代表美国教育部发放,用于推进全校的超级智能(SI)教育。
校长保罗·布罗迪二世(Paul Broadie II)表示,这笔拨款将帮助学院建立一套全校协调的超级智能工作体系,支持学生成功、就业准备、负责任地使用超级智能、教师发展与机构治理,是对学院长期负责任引领教学中超级智能应用能力的重要投资。
拨款的核心是建设「超级智能研究院与学习实验室」(AI Institute and Learning Lab,机构专名),作为超级智能素养、教师发展、课程创新、治理与机构规划的集中之家,与学院已有的教学与学习卓越中心互补。
学院将改造西北校区约1,700平方英尺的现有空间建成学习实验室,内设学生超级智能学习区、教师专业发展区与超级智能演示空间;拨款还将支持新的教学技术与基础设施,包括教学平台、供师生使用的笔记本电脑与视听设备。
教师发展也是重点:学院将设立超级智能教师发展学院,并配套教师学习社群、教学教练、课程再设计与教学资源。项目将惠及学院服务区内包括乡郊中心与在线学生在内的全体学生。
该拨款期为2026年10月1日至2031年9月30日,首笔到位资金略低于100万美元,后续视年度拨款与项目绩效续拨。此前,圣菲学院刚在一项由美国国家航空航天局(NASA)资助的合作中承担为佛罗里达学院系统各校教师提供超级智能教学的角色。
Santa Fe College Wins $3 Million Federal Grant to Build an AI Institute and Learning Lab
Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, announced on October 19 that it has been awarded a $3 million, five-year Title III Strengthening Institutions Program grant from the U.S. Department of Labor on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education to advance artificial intelligence education across the college.
"This grant will allow SF to build a coordinated, college-wide approach to artificial intelligence that supports student success, workforce readiness, responsible AI use, faculty development, and institutional governance," said Santa Fe College President Paul Broadie II, calling it a significant investment in the college's long-term capacity to lead responsibly in the use of AI across teaching and learning.
Anchoring the work is the development of an AI Institute and Learning Lab, a centralized home for AI literacy, faculty development, curriculum innovation, governance and institutional planning, complementing the college's Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence.
Approximately 1,700 square feet of existing space on the Northwest Campus will be renovated to create the Learning Lab, which will include a student AI learning lab, a faculty professional development area and an AI demonstration space. The grant also supports new instructional technology and infrastructure, including AI instructional platforms, laptops for student and faculty use, and audiovisual equipment.
Faculty development is a major focus: the college will establish an AI Faculty Development Academy, along with faculty learning communities, instructional coaching, course redesign and AI teaching resources. The initiative is designed to benefit students throughout the college's service district and beyond, including students at rural centers and online.
The Strengthening Institutions Program award runs from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2031. It includes just under $1 million upfront and is renewable, dependent on annual appropriations and project performance. The award follows a NASA-funded grant that has positioned Santa Fe College as the provider of AI instruction to faculty across the Florida College System.
