The JISC is establishing a new Exchange for Learning Programme (X4L) that aims
to encourage widespread involvement by the FE and HE community in the
development and use of electronic materials for learning and teaching. The
call for proposals is now at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub02/c02_02.html
The focus of the Exchange for Learning Programme (X4L) will be on projects that
will foster change in online learning and teaching by exploring the potential
of re-purposing and sharing content for use in learning. It is envisaged that
projects will engage in pilot activity that may contribute to services in the
future.
Members of further education and higher education institutions funded via the
UK funding bodies will be eligible to submit proposals. Proposals from
individuals, departments, single institutions and consortia of institutions
will be welcomed.
As guidance, proposals for projects from 1 to 3 years duration and with budgets
ranging from £10,000 to £300,000 will be considered. The programme will
commence in April/May 2002, though project start dates can be staggered and
projects starting after July 31st 2002 will also be considered.
This programme is part of the JISC Information Environment Development - see:
