JISC World War One Commemoration Programmes

The JISC WW1 OER project aims to create innovative Open Educational Resources (OERs), using a range of existing content, around the theme of World War One (WW1) that will be relevant across disciplines for embedding in teaching, learning and research in higher and further education as a way of enhancing the student experience and fostering innovative pedagogies.

This project will therefore support a project that carries the following activities:

1. The creation of a suite of learning and teaching resources that provide an international, cross-disciplinary reappraisal of WW1 using digital content which will subsequently be brought together and presented as OER
2. The embedding of the OERs in teaching and learning practice
3. The capturing and sharing of ‘lessons learned’ in the developing and embedding the OERs.

The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is 12:00 noon UK time on 5th December 2011

Funding is available for a single project starting from January 2012 for 6 months. The project must be complete by July 2012; however institutional contributions may sustain the project in the embedding stage of the project until December 2012.

As with the JISC  WW1 Discovery programme, JISC aims to produce a coherant, comprehensive, open and sustainable resource in line with the JISC WW1 Statement of Intent.
