Seed Grants for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Projects
The Learning and Teaching Office (LTO) provides Seed Grants to Notre Dame staff undertaking projects focusing on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). There are varying definitions but put simply, SoTL means:
In order to have a better understanding of learning, educators undertake the systematic investigation of teaching and learning in higher education, apply what they have learnt and importantly, share this knowledge with their peers.
This grant provides funding to assist Notre Dame’s educator scholars to conduct University-based SoTL projects. The grant is open to all teaching staff, and we invite applications for projects that have a strong focus on improvements and innovation in the learning and teaching space. Findings and results will be disseminated throughout the University community.
