Funder: University of Notre Dame
Due Dates: September 29, 2026 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: $3,000 stipend for the 2026–27 academic year, plus Notre Dame Learning support
Summary: Supports Notre Dame faculty in substantially redesigning courses to use class time for active learning and guided practice.
Key Information: Applicants must be regular Notre Dame faculty redesigning a course of at least two credits for teaching in 2027–28.
Notre Dame Learning’s Reimagining Class Time Grants support faculty who want to substantially change how course content is presented. Projects might strengthen active learning or move students’ first exposure to new concepts outside class, leaving time together for guided practice. The grant is not intended for changes to only one or two assignments.
Recipients work with Notre Dame Learning’s learning designers, academic media specialists, educational developers, and project managers to clarify course goals, create instructional materials, and develop or revise learning activities. They teach the redesigned course during the 2027–28 academic year and evaluate the redesign’s impact on faculty and student outcomes. Teams teaching the same or related courses are encouraged to apply.
