Discipline-focussed Learning and Technology Enhancement Academy 2010The Higher Education Academy is introducing a discipline-based organisational development programme as part of its Enhancing Learning through Technology programme. Participating subject departments in HEFCE funded higher education institutions will be supported in the use of technology to enhance learning, teaching and assessment practices with a view to increasing institutional capacity in alignment with HEFCE's policy statement: Enhancing Learning and Teaching through the use of Technology (ELTT). Direct funding for the project is not provided to the departmental teams who are successful. The intention is to focus on enhancements that are strategically aligned with their institution's development needs and mission. Each team will receive consultancy support throughout the 12 month period of the programme in the form of an expert 'Critical Friend' who will be a member of the team and will bring in external expertise from relevant agencies such as Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs), the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), Benchmarking and Pathfinder projects, etc. as the projects progress. In addition, project teams will be supported by their respective Subject Centre and through participation in 'Change Academy' type events. A modest grant will be made available to encourage cross-institutional collaborations and the cultivation of communities of practice using an established model (CAMEL). Further information, including expected timeframes, deliverables and other information, can be found in the programme outline below.
