Launch of 'Partners in Innovation Fellowships' for DkIT Staff and Students

13 January 2023

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) are delighted to take part in the NTUTORR National Project which is an innovative collaboration across the Technological Higher Education sector to transform the student experience. The aim of this sector-wide scheme is to empower change through student-staff partnerships. 

This fellowship programme is a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to collaborate on projects that improve the student experience within their own institutions. These projects might be focused on a specific module, programme or discipline or might be campus or institute-wide. Each project must address at least one of the themes presented below and should result in a positive change that can be sustained. Projects will address the following themes:

  • Digital Transformation in Teaching & Learning
  • Education for Sustainability
  • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
  • Universal Design for Learning
  • Academic Integrity and Assessment

All successful project fund recipients of the NTUTORR Partners in Innovation Fellowship Programme will be awarded a NTUTORR project engagement Certificate and a Digital Badge recognising their project achievements at the Fellowship Celebration and Showcase Event planned for April 2024.
