Teaching and learning
The purpose of the competitive UniSA Learning & Teaching Grants Scheme is to support the strategic objectives stated in the University's Teaching and Learning Framework. Through innovation and the enhancement of educational practice and products, outcomes are disseminated for the purpose of adoption and embedding throughout the University, where appropriate.
Approximately $150,000 is provided annually to support a range of projects across the University. If the quality or quantity of applications is such that grant money remains in a category, funds may be reallocated across categories. Funding in all categories is normally for a period not exceeding twelve months from the date of the initial release of project funding.
Prior to submission, applicants are strongly advised to discuss their applications with the Learning and Teaching Unit (see contact below).
Commissioned Project funding is available for projects that address a University teaching and learning priority area, as announced annually by the Teaching and Learning Committee. $110,000 is available annually to fund one project or a number of projects totalling $110,000.
Development Grants are designed to promote small-scale innovation and to develop good practice in learning and teaching.
Grants are awarded only to teams of applicants. Teams must comprise a minimum of three members of whom at least two must be either current continuing academic staff members and/or fixed term contract academic staff members at UniSA whose contract extends to the end of the implementation period.
