Call for proposals deadline: February 10, 2012
The Teaching and Learning with Technology Grants are intended to encourage and support faculty members who are seeking new and innovative ways to incorporate technology into their teaching practice. Grants will be awarded to individuals and/or groups who can demonstrate how the project can benefit students' learning. All grant recipients will be required to share their project results with the wider Dalhousie community through the Centre for Learning and Teaching conference/workshops or through other dissemination opportunities.
Applications will be accepted for two types of grants.
Type One Grants
($2001 to $5000) will be awarded for projects that involve
course/curriculum design or redesign, affect a high proportion of students,
and include a plan to evaluate the project outcomes. Priority will be
given to projects that have the potential for application beyond a single
course.
Eligibility: Full-time Dalhousie faculty. To optimize the long-term sustainability of the project, non-academic staff and part-time or sessional faculty members may be co-applicants but each project team must include at least one full-time faculty member.
Type Two Grants
(up to $2000) will be awarded for projects that provide direct learning benefit to students and have the potential for a long-term benefit in a particular course or program.
(Examples of past projects include the creation of digital learning resources, virtual labs, multimedia productions, learning objects databases, online tutorials, and
computer-based student assessment systems.)
Eligibility: Full- and part-time Dalhousie faculty. Limited-term faculty must have at least one year remaining in their contract term.
Please note: Preference will be given to projects that can be completed within one year and that can be fully funded by the awarded grant plus any necessary additional funding from other sources. The application process is intended to be user-friendly. Please download the application form from: www.dal.ca/clt. Please note the different requirements for different types of grants.
