[okfn-coord] JISC econtent call

Sat Apr 11 00:26:48 UTC 2009

I just wanted to flag up the JISC econtent call (attached), which may  
already have been discussed (if so, apologies).  Maybe something under  
Strand B?

> B)	Clustering and enhancing digital content.

> infrastructure for related but isolated resources; developing cross-

> mash-ups to ‘cross-fertilise’ the content in existing resources;  
> embedding existing resources into teaching and learning

> Alternatively, proposals may concentrate on creating thematic

> broad themes such as nineteenth-century Britain or the environment)  
> to relevant teaching and research communities.

Food for thought.  The main proposal submission has to be with a HE/ 
FE.  not sure what would fit, but maybe something with Robin Rice and  
people from DataShare?
