> Would you be interested in funding to develop image-based learning
> resources for use in Further or Higher Education? Are you currently
> using or looking for ways to use digital images in your academic
> work? The JISC-funded FILTER project is offering an opportunity for
> you to develop your ideas and provide useful resources for the FE
> and HE communities. You don't need to be an IT expert; it is your
> subject knowledge and awareness of the use of ICT in learning and
> teaching that we seek.
>
> The FILTER project aims to enable the effective use of digital
> images within and across a range of subject areas in FE and HE.
> These will be delivered via a Web-based database
> (http://www.filter.ac.uk/) containing a variety of image-based
> resources exemplifying effective use of images in learning and
> teaching. We are seeking proposals from FE or HE practitioners for
> the creation of image 'datasets' that will meet learning and
> teaching needs in relevant subject areas.
>
> Each dataset will contain:
>
> * A learning and teaching resource (this could be a tutorial,
> virtual tour, slide presentation with notes, etc.) incorporating
> images typically used in the subject area
> * A set of images around which the dataset is built (no specified
> number)
> * A 'log' containing the creation and manipulation information for
> each image
> * Metadata (descriptive information and keywords) for the images
> and L/T resource
> * A case study detailing the context and creation of the dataset
> In some cases additional supporting materials such as links,
> bibliographies, and 'how-to' guides
>
> Proposals should be for the development of resources exemplifying
> both effective use of images and sound pedagogical practice. They
> should meet a real or anticipated need and aim to engage students.
> The resources should be in electronic format but are not limited to
> being Web-based.
>
> Image datasets are currently under production in a number of
> subject areas:
>
> Archaeology
> Civil Engineering
> Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
> Information and Computer Sciences
> Physical Sciences
> Sociology, Anthropology and Politics
>
> An example of a FILTER resource under development can be viewed at
> http://www.brookes.ac.uk/geology/FILTER/intro.html. Additionally,
> similar resources can be viewed on the Bristol BioMed Learning and
> Teaching Web site at http://www.brisbio.ac.uk/bblt/
>
> Proposals covering the following subject areas or others where
> there may be crossover between FE and HE are currently being
> sought:
>
> Agriculture, Food & Forestry
> Business Studies/Accountancy
> Construction
> Economics
> Education
> Hairdressing & Beauty
> History
> Hospitality/Tourism
> Languages
> Librarianship
> Mathematics
> Music
> Nursing/Midwifery
> Performing Arts
> Pharmacy
> Politics
> Sociology/Social Work
> Sport & Leisure

> Project funding is available for the development of 10 additional
> datasets. Each author will receive £3,500 GBR for complete and
> on-time delivery of an image dataset as set out in the project
> Brief (http://www.filter.ac.uk/secondphase/brief.doc) and
> Guidelines (http://www.filter.ac.uk/secondphase/guidelines.doc).
> The time scale for the project is as follows:
>
> - FILTER to receive proposals by 20 September; select 10 datasets
> by 27 September
> - Letters of acceptance and agreements sent by 1 October and
> returned by 11 October
> - Workshop and training for authors in mid-October
> - Authors work on datasets mid-October to end November
> - Second workshop for authors toward end of November
> - Draft datasets delivered to FILTER end November/ beginning of
> December, completed by the end of December
>
> The deadline for proposals will be the 20th of September. A project
> proposal pro forma is available to download at
> http://www.filter.ac.uk/secondphase/proposal.doc.
>
> It is anticipated that a workshop to train authors in all aspects
> of completion of the projects will be held for successful
> applicants in mid-October. In addition, support will be available
> from the LTSN Generic and Subject Centres, project mailing lists
> and the FILTER team. Authors will be encouraged to develop a
> network amongst themselves for support and dissemination.
>
> If you would like further information and/or to express an interest

> We look forward to hearing from you.
