The 2020 Recipients for Explorance’s Faculty Research Grants
The 2020 Faculty Research Grant Review Committee and Explorance would like to thank the Bluenotes Community members for their participation in the call for the 2020 Faculty Research Grant Proposals. Applicants were asked to submit research proposals around the theme of using assessment or course evaluation data.
We are pleased to announce the 16 research grant recipients from institutions across the globe. The selected proposals represent a broad spectrum of topics that will advance the discovery of new knowledge and understanding of the use of assessment or course evaluation data in various aspects of teaching and learning.
Explorance has committed a total of US$160,000 to be awarded to the Faculty Grant recipients. Research findings will be presented at the Bluenotes Global 2020 conference to be held in Chicago from August 2 through August 5, 2020, as a part of knowledge transfer.
