Round Two Funding Spring 2009

Funded projects will build on existing scholarly teaching and learning evidence base and will focus on the adoption and/or research of exemplary and innovative approaches, methods or materials. The Centre for HEP has allocated £50,000 of Teaching and Learning Strategy monies to fund a number of small-scale higher education practice projects. It is expected that funding for individual projects will normally be up to £5,000. The funding will be awarded by open competition to projects that will enhance student learning and/or enrich the learning and teaching research evidence-base.
