Hi
UKOLN are putting out a call for html5 case studies that illustrate how html5 can enhance the sorts of digital content we use in further and higher education
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/calls/call-201107/
£5,000 per case studies – submit your proposal by 15th July. See link above for details
Summary:
The proposals should address new features of the emerging HTML5 standards (e.g. canvas; geo-location; local storage; video; form fill; etc.) or related standards which form part of the W3C's Open Web Platform such as the CSS, DOM, MathML, etc.
Application areas might include, but are not restricted to benefits to institutional Web site (e.g. SEO benefits or enriched functionality); teaching and learning applications (course lectures delivered via video, audio, etc.; lab notebooks); research applications (e.g. articles, series, journals; books; table of contents; bibliography; citation); multi-channel access; etc.
[note that administrative teaching items such as module descriptions and course handbooks, reading lists etc are also in scope]
The proposals should also describe how the work was implemented and the ways in which the new functionality was (or could be) implemented in a real-world context of legacy browsers; possible lack of development tools; etc.
Hope this is of interest
