JISC has announced its latest call for funding proposals for projects to undertake work under the sixth round of its Learning and Teaching Innovation Grants Programme. JISC wishes to fund one year projects and activities (up to £50,000) that fit with the vision, outcomes and principles of the JISC e-Learning programme and support innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This is an open call, and projects dealing with any aspect of e-learning are welcomed. To reduce the initial investment in time and resource needed to develop a traditional JISC proposal and to encourage speculative and innovative ideas from the community bidders are invited to submit outline proposals. For the purposes of this call, innovative proposals are considered to be ones which fulfil the following: are unique or pioneering - something that has not been done previously could be considered to be a "high-risk" intervention use innovative technologies or practice to directly benefit learning or the learning process for learners.
