Description
The University of Calgary Teaching and Learning Grants program funds initiatives that advance student learning experiences through the integration of research, teaching, and educational leadership. The program supports faculty and staff in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), while fostering educational leadership and innovation across five strategic areas: digital transformation in teaching and learning, program innovation, signature learning experiences, inclusive and sustainable campus culture, and advancing institutional commitments to Indigenous ways of knowing. Projects should be grounded in research evidence, generate new knowledge, and share results to benefit the university and broader post-secondary community.
