Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF)

The Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF), launched in September 2006, supported innovative projects that created exceptional learning experiences and environments for students at the University of Alberta.

The fund was a key initiative in support of the University of Alberta’s For the Public Good (2016-2021) and its vision to “inspire the human spirit through outstanding achievements in learning, discovery, and citizenship in a creative community, building one of the world’s great universities for the public good”. The purpose of these awards was to provide instructors with an opportunity to further research and develop innovative methods in teaching and learning and share their findings with the university and broader community. The overall hope was to enhance the student experience at the University of Alberta and stimulate interest in the widespread adoption of evidence-informed teaching practices.

Projects funded to date have been most impressive, and these projects promise to make the University of Alberta a truly great environment for both teaching and learning. Project abstracts and award amounts are published below by adjudication year.
