The University of Victoria Students’ Society (UVSS), more specifically the 2019 Grad Class Executive, the Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation (LTSI), and UVic Libraries (Libraries) collaborated to offer a grant for the purpose of the adoption, adaptation, or development of open educational resources (OERs) for undergraduates with the aim of replacing existing textbooks or educational resources that can be prohibitively expensive. Ideally, the completed OERs will be useable not just at UVic, but other post-secondary institutions.

There will be four grants in the May 2019 call for proposals. The LTSI encourages proposals from those who directly support student learning and the student experience at UVic, including regular faculty, sessional lecturers, teaching assistants, librarians, laboratory instructors, academic program directors, instructional designers and student services professionals. The LTSI especially encourages proposals from early-career academic professionals or those new to UVic.

This is a fund to support the professional development of Term Sessional Lecturers at UVic. Funds are available on a first-come first-reviewed basis. Deadline for electronic submissions starts at 8:00 AM on Monday, April 8, 2019 and will close when we have sufficient applications, or on Friday, April 12th at 4:00 PM, whichever comes first. NOTE: No applications will be accepted prior to 8:00 AM on Monday, April 8, 2019.

The Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Awards (JCURA) was designed to provide support for exceptional undergraduate students who might otherwise not be able to obtain a direct research experience as a part of what we anticipate should be a truly formative learning experience.

Our intent is to make a real difference in how faculty approach teaching, to save time in teaching preparations, to achieve learning outcomes, and above all to put faculty in a position to assume their UVic teaching responsibilities with increased competence and confidence.
