As an initiative to foster academic scholarship and the scholarship of teaching and learning, the Centre for Faculty Development and Teaching Innovation (CFDTI) introduced a research opportunity for faculty at Centennial College, titled the “Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Research Fund.”
Working in collaboration with ARIES, faculty members from across academic Schools can submit proposals that respond to the general theme of “fostering student engagement and promoting high-impact learning experiences.” Successful applicants will receive a budget of up to $1,500.00 (full-time and contract faculty) and one-course release (full-time faculty), with the proviso that they hire a student research assistant to build capacity among the next generation of researchers and scholars. Upon completion of their research, faculty will present the results and implications for practice through internal and external conferences, publications, webinars and other knowledge-sharing channels to advance evidence-informed teaching and learning at the college and beyond.
