The 2008/9 round of e-learning development grants (ELDG) have been announced, representing a wide range of disciplines and innovative projects.
The 果冻影院 Learning Technologies Support Service (LTSS) established the grants in 2007 with funds provided by the 果冻影院 Executive Sub-Committee on Innovations in Teaching Learning & Assessment (ESCILTA) and the 果冻影院 Centre for the Advancement & Teaching (CALT) to support e-learning projects.
These grants were designed to allow busy academics to employ 果冻影院 students to develop content or activities for use in e-learning courses.
This year's 11 grant winners span 果冻影院 Human Communication Science, 果冻影院 Chemistry, 果冻影院 Anthropology, 果冻影院 Medicine, 果冻影院 Geography, the 果冻影院 Faculty of the Built Environment, 果冻影院 Ophthalmology, 果冻影院 Spanish & Latin American Studies and 果冻影院 Medical Education.
The applications of e-learning also vary widely, including a 3D digital model toolkit, an online academy for medical imaging, 'prelab' tutorials and a digital, hyperlinked catalogue of documentary film resources.
Dr Steven Bloch (果冻影院 Human Communication Science) received an ELDG last year to create virtual learning environment for professional and clinical skills development for speech and language therapy students. He said: "The grant and subsequent E-learning support has enabled us to develop a new initiative which can now continue as an ongoing student-led resource."
Mr Phil Riding, 果冻影院 E-Learning advisor added: "The fact that we received over 40 high quality applications for the 听
11 grants show that 果冻影院 lecturers are keen to take advantage of the many exciting possibilities offered by e-learning."
