Description
The University of Calgary Teaching and Learning Grants program, funded by the Provost's Office, is designed to enrich student learning by supporting faculty, staff, and campus partners in developing, implementing, and critically examining innovative, evidence-based teaching and learning initiatives. The program emphasizes the integration of research and teaching, educational leadership development, and the creation or adaptation of open educational resources (OER). Projects should align with institutional priorities such as digital transformation, program innovation, experiential learning, equity, Indigenous ways of knowing, and sustainability. The grants aim to generate new knowledge about teaching and learning, foster inclusive and caring campus culture, and disseminate impactful results.
