For an explanation of terminology used in the UniSA Teaching and Learning Grants, see definitions of terms.
Applications will be assessed according to how well the proposal:
Note that project work must also generally be distinct from the core business normally associated with the initial or further development of course offerings by UniSA academic areas.
If the proposed project involves the use of technology that requires implementation and/or support by the University, then an 'enhancement request' application must be made for approval before any grant can be awarded. This application is made separately from the grant application, as per the instructions under the heading 'Suggest an enhancement' at the TIU's Teaching Technologies 'work requests' web page.
Budgets should be prepared using the budget template (Word doc, 36 KB).
Applicants should note that funding cannot be sought for the following items:
Successful applicants will be provided with an Acceptance Form to formally accept the grant and to supply relevant details for funds administration. A single transfer of funds will be made into an AD account at the beginning of each calendar year.
Team-based T&L grants: The Project Team must organise a Reference Group (normally a minimum of 3 people) for the project. The Reference Group must include the following persons or their nominees: the relevant Dean of Programs (or equivalent/nominee). Project Leaders are also encouraged to include a member of the TIU Academic Development team in the Reference Group.
Early Career Academic Innovation grants: Grant recipients will be mentored by UniSA HEA Fellows and/or TIU Academic Developers and/or previous T&L grant recipients. Grant applicants should contact the Teaching Awards and Grants team before developing the application so mentors can be assigned to assist in the thinking associated with the project idea and its likely characteristics.
