The E-Learning Unit is pleased to announce a call for mini-project proposals under the auspices of our E-learning Production Scheme. The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd January 2015, decisions will be made by the end of month and the projects should be completed by Easter.
We would welcome projects in particular that focus on using our Mahara – (QMplus Groups & Portfolios ) application to facilitate such things as reflection, collaboration, group project work and e-portfolios, however all applications will be considered.
Traditionally, at the E-Learning Unit, we have been able to offer guidance and training to staff to develop their e-learning initiatives. However, for larger or technically complex projects, we have found that a number of good ideas are never realised simply because we can’t help with production. The E-Learning Production Scheme helps us plug that gap and enables us to offer valuable resource to staff who have good ideas for e-learning, but perhaps not the time or skills to get the project started.
If we are able to fund your project under the Scheme, we will recruit and train an E-Learning Assistant to work on it with you. The assistant will be a student from within Queen Mary who will work under the direction of a Learning Technologist from the E-Learning Unit. The student may also be recommended by you and come from your own school. You will of course retain control of your project, but it will benefit from both guidance from the ELU and extra resource through a dedicated E-Learning Assistant.
