The Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF, established at UBC Vancouver in 1991) and Aspire-2040 Learning Transformations Fund (ALT-2040, established as the ALT Fund in 2015 at UBC Okanagan) serve as innovation engines for improving the learning experience for UBC students and advancing innovative teaching practices at UBC and beyond. The TLEF and ALT-2040 Showcase will celebrate the creative work of project teams and showcase a diverse range projects from both UBCV and UBCO. Many of these innovative projects can be found at this year’s TLEF and ALT-2040 Virtual Showcase at celebratelearning.ubc.ca/tlef-showcase.
