Commitment and Deliverables
Attend discussions at the beginning and mid-point of the project facilitated by CTL

Share results or findings through CTL communication channels, events (workshops, T&L at Lunch sessions, showcase), or other platforms to inspire innovation in teaching practices.
Evaluation of applications
Grant applications will be evaluated based on feasibility within a short time frame; potential pedagogical impact on student learning; extent to which the project will enhance inclusion, equity, or accessibility in the student learning experiences; level of innovation; alignment with university goals; scalability; and other factors.
Jump Start for Canvas Grant is to provide opportunities for faculty to leverage Canvas for teaching and learning. Each project will receive a small monetary award of up to 2,000RMB based on the budget plan.
Goals:
Drive measurable impact on student learning: projects should demonstrate how Canvas enhances student learning outcomes, such as through assessments and personalized feedback.
Enhance student engagement: projects should create engaging learning experiences using Canvas, such as interactive modules, multimodal materials, or collaborative learning.
