Do you take an innovative approach to your teaching, whether it’s through your course design, assessment methods or use of technologies? Or have you engaged in a collaborative teaching project to enhance student learning? The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) has issued a call for applications for two awards that may be of interest to you: the D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning and the Alan Blizzard Award in Collaborative Teaching.
Interested applicants for either award should submit their application dossiers to the Carleton University Teaching Awards Committee (CUTAC) at tls@carleton.ca for review by Jan. 15, 2021 so committee members can provide feedback and institutional endorsement.
