The University of Waterloo’s Learning Innovation and Teaching Enhancement (LITE) Seed Grants fund projects investigating innovative approaches to enhancing teaching and fostering deep student learning at Waterloo. Since 2012, recipients across campus have used LITE-Grant funding to explore topics ranging from transcultural learning to ePortfolios, Communities of Practice to undergraduate teamwork development workshops, peer review of teaching to information literacy, and more.
Funded by the Office of the Associate Vice President, Academic, and administered by CTE, there are three deadlines per year for LITE Seed Grant applications.
