As we seek to be a university where high-impact innovative learning is at the core of the undergraduate experience, 奥古斯塔大学 directly supports faculty whose efforts reflect this commitment. As part of the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), 学习ing by Doing, an Education Innovation Fund (EIF) has been established to support teaching faculty who wish to pursue experiential learning opportunities with their students in an undergraduate course. Experiential learning is broadly defined and includes various methods of active learning pedagogy such as (but not limited to) team based projects, field work, teaching content, research, product development, and service learning. To this end, the 教学与创新司 invites faculty to submit an EIF Grant proposal that will encourage the development of experiential learning opportunities for AU students.

资金 up to $2000 may support adding an experiential learning component to a class for the first time or extending and further developing experiential learning strategies already in place. This fund is not meant to offset regular departmental or course experiences that should be part of the annual budgeting process or course fee structure. Fall and spring term grants support faculty development or materials that allow for the development or modification of an experiential learning course. Instructional Design coaches are available for faculty support to carry out course planning and innovation during any grant round by submitting a 项目要求 to the 教学创新中心.

NOTE: AU will not support travel that contradicts federal or state restrictions due to COVID-19 or other health concerns, Please check current travel restrictions.
