- Devise a significant project or program of activities that will advance teaching and learning within the University
- Identify educational issues within the University and facilitate approaches to address these issues
- Stimulate strategic change within the University
- Raise the profile of teaching and learning within the University and the prestige associated with the pursuit of excellence in teaching.
Teaching and Learning Fellowships are offered at a maximum of $15,000.00. The workshop and application period will be announced by the DVC(AGR) in Semester 2, with successful Fellowships commencing in the first semester of the following year.
