Subject: Message for MSOR Key Contacts - Funding Opportunity
Dear All
RE: JISC / Higher Education Academy Open Education Resource Programme
The above programme has put out a call for bids of up to £250k to fund the release of educational resources in an “open way”. Such bids have to be led by Subject Centres, but are expected to be consortia of a number of departments. If you would be interested in being part of such a consortium in the area of Maths, Stats and OR please can you indicate your interest by sending the information requested below to Janet Nuttall (j.nuttall@bham.ac.uk) by Friday 6th February (apologies for the short timescale, but the whole bidding process is very short).
You should be aware of a number of key facts relating to this call:
1 The overall project objective is the release of material equivalent to approximately 360 credits of pre-existing learning resources.
2 The project will not fund the development of new teaching materials .
3 All materials must be free at the point of use (released from all IPR and licensing considerations).
4 The material must be available for amendment and re-purposing without restriction.
If you are interested in being part of a consortium, please take a few minutes to provide us with the following information relating to those materials you have available;
- Title of Resource
- Credit Value
- Programmes of study currently used with
- Development Platform
- Delivery Platform
- Associated licensing restrictions if currently known
Having collated this information we will then be in a better position to scope the project and begin to formulate an appropriate bid.
