In celebrating UFV’s 50 years of being a positive agent of change in the community, the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) announced the 2024 Teaching Inquiries into Pedagogical Practices (TIPP) fund. Applicants were encouraged to submit projects that either directly applied changemaking practices, focused on relationality in terms of inclusion or Indigenization, worked towards sustainable futures, or addressed actual challenges with collaborative problem-solving. Eleven projects were selected, with two projects having collaborative pairs. Themes ranged from the importance of language, collaboration and relationality across disciplines, to engaging with students through comedy.
We had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Chang Lu (Business), Hannah Sanvido (TASK Program), Alison Pritchard-Orr (Kinesiology), Rob Taylor (English), and Marina Tourlakis (Biology) about their projects. Watch our video below to learn more about their experiences with their TIPP project!
