The Graduate Student Teaching Development Program (TDP) at OpenEd recognizes the importance of cultivating a culture of scholarship in teaching and learning (SoTL) in post-secondary education and supporting graduate student teaching development. To these ends, the TDP offers funding for graduate students to propose, initiate, research and disseminate the results of a three-semester research project that investigates an aspect of teaching and learning in the post-secondary context.
