Subject: new e-Learning Programme call
Released today is a new e-Learning Programme call - JISC CIRCULAR 5/08:
INSTITUTIONAL APPROACHES TO CURRICULUM DESIGN
The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites proposals for
projects to review course design and validation processes, and the ways
these are supported and informed by technology, in order to transform
learning opportunities to address an identified issue or challenge of
strategic importance to the institution involved.
Funding of up to £400,000 per project is available with projects expected to
last for just under four years. JISC has committed £5 million to this work
and expects to funds up to 12 projects. Because of the need for
institutions to identity issues or challenges relevant to their own context
only one project per institution will be funded.
JISC is holding a community briefing event where potential bidders will be
given information about the background to the call, its objectives and the
bidding process. This meeting will take place on 21 May 2008 in Birmingham.
Members of the community are invited to register for the meeting from Friday
2 May 2008 at <http://www.jisc.ac.uk/curriculumdesignmeeting>
www.jisc.ac.uk/curriculumdesignmeeting.
The deadline for receipt of proposals is no later than 12.00 noon on
Thursday 19 June 2008. Projects should start in September 2008.

Wales and DEL Northern Ireland. FE institutions in England that teach HE to
more than 400 FTEs are also eligible to bid provided proposals demonstrate
how the work supports their HE provision.

arrangements may be developed outside the sector (for example with employers
or professional bodies), but the lead partner must meet the criteria
outlined above. Funds can only be allocated through the lead partner.
