New £15,000 bursary for museums, libraries and archives from AtticLearning

 

AtticLearning – the dedicated e-learning division of new media production company Atticmedia – is launching an annual bursary of £15,000 to help schools to work with museums, libraries and archives.  The single bursary will be awarded to an eLearning project that will

• Actively involve the school in the development of materials enabling pupils to learn about the application of ICT through the project
• Actively involve both the school and a museum, library or archive working together, where the final product produces something that can be of benefit to the school, the cultural institution and ideally the local community

 

Atticmedia will contribute the £15,000 worth of time and resources to develop the project – likely to cover about 20 minutes of CD-ROM content, or a small website of about 20-30 pages.

 

The deadline for entries is 10th December '04.

Build of the winning project will start in February with a launch earmarked for the late spring of 2005.

 

The 2004/05 judges are:

• Chris Yapp, Head of Innovations, Microsoft UK
• Professor Tim Unwin, Royal Holloway
• Javier Pez, Museums Association
• Sarah Lindsell, Head of eTraining, PwC
• Jonathan Douglas, Head of Learning and Access, MLA
• Yolanda Brooks, Times Educational Supplement
• Patrick Burgoyne, Editor of Creative Review.
