Purdue’s Brightspace team invites instructors and staff system-wide to submit proposals for the Brightspace Innovation Grant program, which supports innovative approaches to teaching and learning that make meaningful use of the Brightspace learning management system. Applications are due Friday, Jan. 8, 2027. For funding details, proposal requirements, the budget template and application instructions, visit the Brightspace Innovation Grant webpage.
Purdue Indianapolis and West Lafayette, Purdue Fort Wayne, Purdue Northwest, and Purdue Global instructors and staff are eligible to apply for the program. Proposals should explore how Brightspace can strengthen instruction, improve the student experience, or support emerging teaching practices.
Projects may include new approaches to student engagement, assessment, active learning, or the use of learning analytics to support student success. Proposals may also explore underused Brightspace features or develop strategies that could benefit other courses, disciplines or campuses.
Brightspace must be an integral part of the proposed project. Those that also involve external tools must demonstrate innovation beyond the external tool itself. Proposals should be endorsed by the submitter’s department head.
See the Brightspace Innovation Grant webpage for contact details for each campus and information on past awardees.

AI Bytes continues this fall with Before You Ask AI: What to Share, What to Trust, and What to Verify, 2-3 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Oct. 21. Join us for a practical conversation about what information is appropriate to share with artificial intelligence agents, how to evaluate AI-generated responses, and what to verify before putting those responses to use.
Hosted by Consulting and Training, the monthly sessions focus on practical questions instructors are encountering as AI becomes increasingly integrated into teaching, learning, and everyday work. These sessions will help participants develop strategies they can apply across platforms and situations. No advanced AI experience is required, and instructors are welcome to attend individual sessions or participate throughout the series.
The AI Bytes final fall session is Thursday, Nov. 19, exploring how to find the right place for AI in teaching and learning. Register for an upcoming session or explore previous recordings on the AI Bytes webpage.
Consulting and Training is part of Purdue University Online, a member of Innovative Learning, a hub approach to connect Purdue instructors in Indianapolis and West Lafayette, to the resources they need to engage students, develop courses in any instructional modality, and enhance learning across the University. Other members include the Center for Instructional Excellence and Libraries and the School of Information Studies.
