eCampusOntario has announced a new 2016-18 Research and Innovation Grants Call for Proposals.
The invitation to submit proposals states:
“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. This call for proposals focuses on supporting research and innovation along with opportunities for synthesis and dissemination.”
The call outlines two categories, Research Projects (up to 100K) and Innovation Projects (up to 20K). Proposals can be 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
