Online Learning Consortium & Quality Matters

Stipends for Short-Duration Workshops from OLC and QM

The CTLE offers all faculty (adjuncts, too!) a call for applications that’s open year-round for small grant awards to cover registration and a stipend for taking up to two workshops per year as offered through the Online Learning Consortium (OLC) and Quality Matters (QM). There’s no deadline to apply, however, please allow us one week in advance of the start date of your desired workshop to process your application. For each workshop you take and complete through us, submit your completion certificate to request your stipend of $150. That’s $300 a year of stipend money you’re entitled to just for being an instructor at UHD!
