Hello Everyone

JISC are looking for Expert Consultants to support several of their e-
Learning Programme strands.  

The Technology Enhanced Learning Environments strand might be of 
particular relevance as it includes personalised learning environments and 
mobile learning environments.  Although not strictly accessibility 
focussed, these areas seem to fit alongside some of the accessibility 
preferences work.

So if anyone wants to tender for this consultancy work, the deadline is 
11th September 2007.  Further information is available from the e-mail 
below and from 
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2007/08/expert_con
sultant_elearning.aspx.

Best Regards

Sharon.
