Teaching and Learning Innovation Grants

The purpose of these grants is to support projects which show innovation in any aspects of teaching, learning and/or assessment. Projects where the primary objective is to develop topics for flexible delivery in electronic modes are excluded from this scheme; projects with other objectives but where some utilisation is made of new technologies are eligible for funding.

Innovation may take the form of the development, adaptation or application of a new or different approach, practice or procedure which is designed to produce improvements in teaching quality, effectiveness and efficiency and learning outcomes for students. The project may be specific to a topic or topics, the whole or a part of a course, and/or any other teaching and learning activity.

The Teaching and Learning Innovation Grants Scheme will award up to four grants per annum and the grants will be in the range of $6,000 to $12,000. There will be provision in each round for one grant per faculty, but the number awarded in any one year will depend on the quality of the applications.

Up to one grant per annum (of between $6,000 and $12,000) may also be made (depending on the quality of the applications) to applicants from Yunggorendi and the University Student Learning Centre and other areas/units of the University not associated with a Faculty. Submissions under this section of the Scheme will be subject to the same selection processes and criteria as all other submissions.

One or two additional grants may be awarded in the event that the number of meritorious submissions received at Stage 2 exceeds the standard number of grants usually awarded.
