E-Learning Project Proposal Guidelines

The guidelines listed below are to be used when bidding for e-learning project money, support or consultancy time. Please refer to these guidelines to ensure that bids meet the requirements of the LLN.

Please be aware that projects must help meet the overall aim of the LLN which is: “to get more students with vocational qualifications and more students in employment into the network partners to study and achieve in HE”

More specifically e-learning projects must adhere to all of the following:

1. Improved access: inform the design of the curriculum to improve access by inspiring innovation in learning, teaching and assessment methods. (This could be done through the creation and revision of content which can be delivered by e-learning and embedded into the design of existing courses/modules - or through the creation of new ones).
   
2. Encourage effective learning: by making sure that students have access to courses/modules irrespective of location, mode of attendance, or mode of delivery.
   
3. Raise awareness of e-learning innovation: especially amongst staff within the Network, for example publishing case studies of good practice, course design templates, or research outputs.
   
4. Encourage sharing of good practice: could be examples of good practice made available for download from the LLN website, staff development workshops, community forums or other types of sharing.
   
5. Partnerships and reciprocal arrangements: where appropriate, encourage cross institutional collaboration.
   
6. Sharing of content: agreements to share content across others within the Network.
