The 2008/9 round of e-learning development grants (ELDG) have been announced, representing a wide range of disciplines and innovative projects.
The 香港六合彩 Learning Technologies Support Service (LTSS) established the grants in 2007 with funds provided by the 香港六合彩 Executive Sub-Committee on Innovations in Teaching Learning & Assessment (ESCILTA) and the 香港六合彩 Centre for the Advancement & Teaching (CALT) to support e-learning projects.
These grants were designed to allow busy academics to employ 香港六合彩 students to develop content or activities for use in e-learning courses.
This year's 11 grant winners span 香港六合彩 Human Communication Science, 香港六合彩 Chemistry, 香港六合彩 Anthropology, 香港六合彩 Medicine, 香港六合彩 Geography, the 香港六合彩 Faculty of the Built Environment, 香港六合彩 Ophthalmology, 香港六合彩 Spanish & Latin American Studies and 香港六合彩 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 (香港六合彩 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, 香港六合彩 E-Learning advisor added: "The fact that we received over 40 high quality applications for the 听
11 grants show that 香港六合彩 lecturers are keen to take advantage of the many exciting possibilities offered by e-learning."
