Apply for Funding for Pedagogical Development Projects within the HEaD Project
The Higher Education and Digitalisation (HEaD) project contributes to the development of Mid Sweden University in the areas of technology enhanced- & lifelong learning through pedagogical digital competence development & tailored support in pedagogical development. Application due: November 4, 2024
The project is now announcing the opportunity to apply for funding to conduct a pedagogical development project related to technology enhanced- and/or lifelong learning, with support from HEaD. This could, for example, involve the development of initiatives for increased quality and throughput in distance education, new pedagogical approaches to make education more accessible for working professionals, the development of student-activating methods, competence development regarding new classroom technology or digital tools, and more. It could involve new pedagogical ideas or methods, as well as the further development of previously implemented HEaD or ALP projects.
During the period covered by this call, the implementation of the learning platform Canvas (Sunet LMS) will take place.
More information about the implementation of Canvas
As part of the implementation project, course room structures will be developed and, therefore, cannot be included in the development projects within HEaD. However, applications related to other pedagogical development work in relation to the learning platform are welcome.
In this call, we aim to support eight to ten development projects, each receiving financial support for implementation and tailored pedagogical and technical support. The pedagogical development projects supported in this call should begin in early 2025 and be completed no later than December 2026. Each project will receive a flat-rate grant of SEK 150,000 per year, and co-financing at the same level is expected in-kind from the institutions. The projects must be carried out by teams of at least two people.
More information about pedagogical development projects within HEaD can be found here (in Swedish).
Applications are submitted via the form below, and the application deadline is November 4, 2024.
