Recently, eCampusOntario announced the availability of $1.5 million dollars over two years to support research and innovation related to online and technology-enabled learning within six theme areas:
- Pedagogical Approaches
- Quality and Evaluation
- Business Models, Resources, Costs, Faculty Support
- Openness
- Connecting Sector Priorities
- Accessibility and Digital Literacy
As a centre for excellence in online learning, eCampusOntario has a mandate to support leading-edge Ontario research in the field. This mandate also extends to providing support for experimentation with innovative pedagogical approaches and technologies in a safe environment where failure is an acceptable opportunity to learn. Supports and opportunities within eCampusOntario to synthesize and disseminate exemplary practices and share lessons learned are important components for the success and evolution of excellence in teaching with technology.
The deadline to submit proposals is Oct. 31, 2016. Full details of the call for proposals can be found here.
The EDC is very interested in collaborating and supporting research and innovation in these theme areas. Please do not hesitate to connect with us at edc@carleton.ca.
