The Learning and Teaching Innovation Grant provides faculty, staff, and other service departments with funds and support for applied initiatives aimed at enhancing the student experience through alignment to the pillars of the Learning and Teaching Framework (LTF). Projects will demonstrate how they promote the LTF and reflect the spirit of a polytechnic “learning-by-doing” methodology. Please read the Learning and Teaching Innovation Grant Information Sheet [PDF] before you apply for more information about this grant.
