Digital Literacies in the Disciplines - Application Form (deadline May 1st)
Digital Literacies in the Disciplines is a series of mini-projects that aim to develop the use of digital literacies via discipline teaching and learning practice. Institutions are invited to bid for one of eight projects (two projects per HEA cluster of disciplines) attracting £5000 of funding per project.
This series of mini-projects is a component of the HEA’s Educational Learning Technologies (ELT) work to develop Digital Literacies through further work in the disciplines. We wish to select two projects for each of the HEA four discipline clusters.
This element is also aligned to the HEA theme of 'Students as Partners'. In this call we are seeking to fund a series of small projects to establish a consistent approach across a range of disciplines to enable staff to provide students with the opportunity to develop their digital literacies while creating re-usable interactive learning resources (i.e. ‘e-learning’ resources). It complements the JISC Digital Literacies programme to promote coherent, inclusive and holistic institutional strategies and organisational approaches for developing digital literacies for all staff and students in UK further and higher education.
The project is being delivered by the HEA’s Educational Learning Technologies (ELT) work to develop Digital Literacies in the disciplines. Our intention is to extend awareness and practice through a discipline-based approach to developing digital literacy.
Deadline for applications is 1st May 2013. We expect to inform successful applicants by the end of May.
