3M National Teaching Fellowship Program

In 1986, the Society for Teaching and Learning in higher Education (STLHE) and 3M Canada partnered to recognize exceptional contributions to teaching and learning at Canadian Universities. The community of 3M National Teaching Fellows embodies the highest ideals of teaching excellence and scholarship with a commitment to encourage and support the educational experience.


D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning

Established in 2012, the D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning, sponsored by D2L (Desire2Learn), celebrates and recognizes up to five post-secondary collaborative teams each year for their innovative approaches that promote student-centred teaching and learning.


Christopher Knapper Lifetime Achievement Award

In 2002, STLHE created this award to honour individuals who have, over their career, made significant contributions to teaching, learning and educational development in Canadian higher education.


Online Learning Consortium Awards of Excellence

OLC recognizes members of the community twice each year on two separate award cycles – in the spring at OLC Innovate, and in the fall at OLC Accelerate.
