Call for 2012 Funding for National NDLR LInCS Projects 28.08.12

The National Digital Learning Resources (NDLR) is offering an opportunity to submit proposals to the 2012 Call for National Learning Innovation Projects (LInCS). These projects are cross-institutional projects, funded by the HEA through the NDLR, to promote the development, sharing and impact of digital learning resources and associated practices for teaching, learning and research.

The objective of this call is to support projects that demonstrate the impact, scholarship and effectiveness for teaching, learning and research led teaching from Ireland.  The NDLR will be issuing funds from 10th October 2012 to support projects that will create learning resources and demonstrate impact for teaching, learning and research around use of digital learning resources in HEIs and generate use and activity around these learning resources and the repository and portal and support activities that promote sustainable Communities of Practice.

Bids should focus on short, practical projects with clear identifiable outputs (i.e. resources and examples of use, reuse and impact). The outputs of these projects should aim to actively progress and support the realisation of the smart CoP model (new CoPs and/or mergers between existing CoPs).

The outputs of these projects will be showcased at the next NDLR FEST event in May 2013.
