ADM-HEA Projects 2011-12 – reminder
ADM-HEA is pleased to invite proposals for projects of 12 months duration, which will run until March 2012.
Deadline for submissions: Monday, 6 December, 2010
Applicants will need to demonstrate that their project aims broadly
align with the primary purpose of ADM-HEA: to enhance the student
learning experience across the HE art, design and media sector with the
objectives of developing and supporting learning and teaching. ADM-HEA
also encourages and supports the development of new networks and
partnerships.
There are three broad themes for applications this year, which have been
set down in the Higher Education Academy’s list of priorities for the
work of Subject Centres during 2011/12:
-
Better teaching
-
Flexibility of learning
-
Graduates with impact
Project applicants are asked to consider ways in which the art, design and media disciplines might respond to these priorities at a disciplinary, departmental, institutional and regional level to implement positive change based on principles that are applicable across the art, design and media HE sector.

Drawing to Learn
“Drawing to Learn”, is a new series of booklets which have been developed through the LearnHigher Centre of Excellence in Teaching & Learning. The booklets offer a practical introduction to using drawing and other visual methods to support undergraduate and postgraduate learning and research in every discipline - not just those with which these activities are usually associated.
