Announcing the 2021/22 Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund projects

This year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, UBCV, redeployed $2 million dollars in funding from the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) to help support Faculties in their efforts to transition courses online and ensure high-quality learning experiences for students. Faculties used this funding: to hire students and staff to assist with the development of redesigned courses for remote instruction; to increase capacity for media production; and to expand teaching support in courses offered by increasing the number of teaching assistants hired to work with faculty in the Summer and Winter terms. 

In addition to the $2 million redeployment funding, the TLEF also awarded $711,058 in renewal funding to eight Small TLEF Innovation projects and six Large TLEF Transformation projects. This year’s funding round only accepted renewal applications for second and third-year funding. In total, 16 renewal applications were received from the UBC Vancouver campus of which 14 were funded. To see a complete picture of the 2021/22 TLEF funding round, as well as enrolment numbers from projects funded last year, please review the 2021/22 TLEF snapshot.
