-----Original Message----- From: Wendy Miller [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 06 June 2005 10:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: GEES Project Funding, Call for Proposals 2005-2006 Importance: High Small-Scale Learning & Teaching Project Funding, 2005-2006 Call for Proposals Theme: Bringing the World into the GEES Student Learning Experience The Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences has set aside a total of £30,000 for 2005-2006 to support small-scale learning & teaching projects under this theme for one year. Wherever our graduates go in the future, whether a discipline-related job or onto pastures new, they will experience a world that is challenging and often unpredictable, they may be required to work in mixed teams to solve problems, they will need to think laterally and creatively and use their own initiative to seek out information and resources. The GEES disciplines are ideally placed to develop such skills through the consideration of 'real world' applications to the curriculum content. Many individual academics and departments already provide exciting and innovative opportunities for students to experience the 'real world' through work-related learning programmes, simulations and games, scenario-based learning, projects and fieldwork. The aim of this thematic programme of funding is to support further curriculum developments and to provide an opportunity for colleagues to share and transfer practice in this area.
