Funding

Arts ISIT recognizes the importance of funded projects in helping you to transform your courses to enhance student learning.

We provide dedicated support and consultation during proposal development as well as pedagogical, technical and evaluation support during the project to help you bring your ideas into practice.


Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund

The Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) was created to enrich student learning by supporting innovative and effective educational enhancements. Each year, the UBC Provost invites applications for the TLEF for initiatives that will improve the student learning experience at our university.

Support options

Arts ISIT can provide pedagogical, technical and evaluation support for your Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) projects.

We work closely with various groups on campus such as the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT), UBC IT, and UBC Library to help coordinate the right type of support services for your project.

Along with CTLT, we can also provide feedback and support on your proposal ahead of submission and help you with pedagogical approaches, learning technology, evaluation, learning analytics, budget development and background research. We can also assist in the coordination between similar projects within Arts and help you make connections with central units like CTLT, UBC Studios, and the Emerging Media Lab for support.

CTLT also offers drop-in consultations sessions for proposal support starting at the end of September.
