[okfn-coord] Fwd: Grant Call 14/08: HEFCE/Academy/JISC Open Educational Resources Programme

[Jonathan Gray]

I can't remember if I forwarded this to this list already.

Seeing as though it is about education (as opposed to research) - I
imagine that Weaving History could be an interesting one to apply
with.

I think to have a good chance, we would ideally have to partner with a
FE/HE history department - and play up WH's potential role withing
teaching. Should we re-approach the History Faculty at Cambridge?
Perhaps we could send the URL to the Microfacts beta to relevant
parties? Would it be worth trying to scope out/contact other
institutions? KCL springs to mind, as they do a lot of stuff to do
with digital resources for the humanities (although mostly for
research).

The deadline is in March. What do people think?
