LDDI helps faculty with their applications for Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) projects, including cross-faculty collaborations. We provide consultation regarding:
- Pedagogy: course and program design, assessment of learning, active learning, evidence based teaching practices;
- Evaluation: Develop a project evaluation plan, identify the best method(s) to collect evidence, collect and analyze data to determine your project’s impact(s);
- Learning Technology: Learning technology integration, development, learning analytics
- Media: media design and development, graphic design: DIY, emerging media;
- Project: Project planning and budget development for TLEF projects;
If you are submitting a TLEF application, LDDI Learning Designers are available to work with you on the Letter of Intent (LOI) submission and full proposal feedback. Scheduled consultation sessions will be posted on our events page, and you can also book 1-on-1 consultation with one of our Learning Designers.
For more information on TLEF, please visit the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund website.

Application deadline for new and returning Large TLEF Transformation projects proposals
Large TLEF Transformation projects are multi-year projects that are intended to advance UBC’s strategic goals relating to transformative learning. Projects are eligible to receive up to $200,000 in funding and can span up to three years. Typically, these projects impact multiple courses or programs, have the potential to involve collaboration across departments or Faculties, and align with UBC’s strategic priorities.

Application deadline for new and returning Small TLEF Innovation project proposals
Small TLEF Innovation projects are grassroots projects that are intended to support experimentation with pedagogical approaches that have strong potential to enhance learning. These projects should also align with UBC’s strategic priorities relating to transformative learning, but they are typically smaller in scope and scale, and may involve more experimentation and exploration of new and emerging approaches to support learning.
