Call for Proposals for Interdisciplinary Pedagogic Research Projects
24 November 2011
As in previous years, there will be funding for interdisciplinary projects. This year there are a number of notable changes arising from our experiences over the last couple of years.
- Projects must address an aspect of the L&T theme for 2011-2012 – Professional Learning in a Global Context.
- In the first instance, colleagues only need to submit a brief expression of interest to myself explaining in a very brief paragraph what they would like to do.
- Those submitting these by November 25th will be invited to an ‘awayday’ on the 2nd December 2011 where the WEx team will facilitate networking and solidifying the ideas put forward.
- The resulting teams will have 4 weeks to submit their full proposal.
- If funded, all teams will be expected to meet every six week with the WEx research team to discuss progress and issues. If teams are working effectively, these meetings will become voluntary.
